Adjustment period

[nschildcare]

How part time is he? In my contract and policies, my transition period is 4 weeks for full time and 8 weeks for part time. Kids do not normally take this long (ft usually 2 weeks and pt usually 3) but it gives me and the parents the opportunity to try things out and make adjustments if necessary. Part timers can be REALLY hard to transition depending on the frequency they attend and their personality. That's why I give them longer.

Have you thought about having him come for 2 weeks full time? Give him an opportunity to get used to you and the others and then revert back to part time?

Is he napping? Eating? If he was doing these things, I would be inclined to give it a bit more time.
