Difficulty adjusting to change, advise please

I agree with mickyc. If I have a child who has tantrums they are put in the timeout chair over and over day after day until they realize I don't ever cave into their demands and they stop. This has worked for me for a lot of children who have tantrums.

However, I have a child in care who cried for no reason for a year and a half. I should have terminated. I regret it and now I'm sticking with it until the end but it's difficult. So only you know if you want to keep trying and trying or cut your losses and be happy on a day to day basis. Think about how it would be for you and the other children next week without this child ruining everyone's day.

Also, speak to the parents, that's what I do. Make sure you and the parents are using the same discipline and that the parents realize they MUST be on board or you will give them notice. There are a lot of great families out there. You don't have to be miserable. If the parents will not help or do not see a problem, that's when I terminate without guilt, because it won't get better.
