Hi there,

I have just started up my dayhome and the first child that I have accepted is an 18 month old boy. I am getting quiet concerned that he is not a good fit for my kids or my dayhome. I am looking for some type of advise on how long you give a child to transition into your home before addressing it with the parents?
Like I said he is 18months, he is not walking and has no interest in getting around by himself. He is also VERY sensitive. If my 12 month old comes near him he gets very upset. Also as long as the weather permits it I take my kids outside everyday. Today was the second time we were outside with this little boy and both times he just cried!! I tried to put him on the swing but he cried even more! He just wants to be left alone and sit and watch...is this normal or I am overreacting? How much time would you give this before letting him go and finding another child? Thank you in advance!!!
