Grrr vent

[Lee-Bee]

I sent him home :-(

He needs one on one attention and some quiet time. I don't doubt he will be rather fine at home with some tv and cuddles. His parents were not impressed but he was in no state to be in group care and as per the signed illness policy he needs more attention than he can get with one adult and 5 kiddos.

If he was just needing cuddles and was able to calm when I gave them then I'd have kept him, changed our day so i can hold him and help him...but he was here 7hrs, he did not haev a drop of liquid, zero food (not even the purees i tried which made him scream endlessly) and was too busy screaming to even keep his soother in. I didn't try anything frozen/cold but he just wasn't in a state to try it.

My whole group is frazzled and stressed and i need to care for the whole group not just one teething kiddo. It sucks, but i had to look out for my whole group and myself and made the call to ship him home.

I asked his parents to have him checked out by a doctor if he wasn't eat/drinking or calming for them as he seemed worse off them just teething. I don't think its molars as there doesn't seem to be anything goign on back there. He's still working on the front 4 teeth. I know they come out of order (my daughter got her molars long before the bottom front teeth) but the gums don't show signs of teeth underneath back there.

Could be anything but most of all I believe the child really just needs to be one-on-one while he is feeling crummy. It doesh im no good to have him screaming here, makign the others scream which work him up more...especially when he won't eat or drink which makes him feel worse so makes him scream worse which makes him less likely to eat/drink!!!!!!
