Yes, that is where I feel at a loss; when the screaming occurs and I feel like I have no choice but to isolate her (tent) and let her decide when she is calm enough to quiet and come join us. She went through a time where she would get very upset if someone was playing with something she wanted (or some such daycare 'traumatic' incident...haha) but she would then go to her quiet spot, cry it out quietly and re-join us a minute later. Now, it's the screaming, yelling at, throwing things at and bossing around her daycare friends. The consequence I do use (for the negative behavior with friends) is of course, time-out. She sits there, wiggles her toes, sings a song until the timer goes off and back to play. It so so peaceful on the one day she is not here and I think we can get there again with her. Such a struggle in this job. This is 3rd child with this family, last one...and they have been a wonderful family to deal with. I really cannot term her, but I really need things to improve for her last year with me next year.
