I have just started my in home daycare. It has been 2 weeks of full time care for a 1 yr old. The dck has transitioned for a few months, with play dates etc. I have an 18 mos old myself who is very outgoing and loves to play with others (my second child). This dck is soooo sensitive (an only child) that cries so much, her face goes purple and she is losing her breath.....Something as small as my son passing by can send her into hysteria. I brought out bubbles today, she FREAKED. I talked to her mom about holding her constantly and encouraging the little one to be more mobile (shes crawling) and having opportunity to independently play. I am realistic about transitioning and by no means am I going to throw in the towel yet, But! I will have 2 more children in my care starting next month and fear that this child I have now, will require even more reassurance. It has interfered with our activities because she requires soo much assurance and cuddling, that my son is feeling the brunt. I dont know what else I should do, and I refuse to hold her all the time. Bring it up to the parents in a more serious way? Im not confident they really understand how her behaviour effects our day. I have suggested tips/advice, but its been a week and no change. I dont feel like she is still transitioning, I feel like her cries are more like screaming because shes frustrated (while holding her arms out) because I am not holding her.
