Somedays I tell my friends the worst child in daycare that day was mine lol !!! I find its a personality quality my dd likes things done a certain way and being raised as an only child has had it her way a long time ! She loves the kids !! Gets soo excited in the morning , asks is it a daycare day today ?!!!! Just has her moments !!!
She sees me hugging or interacting with the dcks and gets jealous and acts out ! I usually try to treat her the same in some situations and different in others ie she waits her turn , eats with her friends , same expectations in sharing and playing nicely but different as she gets to sit with me while they nap , she goes for outside time with her dad alone that kind of thing . She gets to do crafts and play with her own toys while they nap as well .
I made sure that none of the daycare toys are hers , everything is for everybody . But her toys are only for her !!
It's a balance for sure and we tend to expect more from our children especially when we see others behaviours everyday !
I started my Dayhome to stay home with my child , so sending her elsewhere doesn't reallyake sense for my family .
