Help me ladies....new kid woes.

[Dreamalittledream]

Ahhhh I am tearing up just reading this. I too am in the midst of transition (Day 10) of a constant screamer/unsocialized child. When not restrained in her booster chair at mealtimes, she follows me everywhere and screams constantly while trying climb me and claw at me. I have tried everything (in my most soothing manner possible) and I and the children are stressed and exhausted. This week alone I have had 2 calls for her space; but parents are bending over backwards (ie. shortened hours @ 9-2:30 to give me a break) trying to help and that makes me want to go the extra mile. I too have seen my daycare children come out the other side and be my best little ones ever. Whew, it's just getting through this. Best parenting advice I heard as a new Mom I now use..."they cannot possibly harm themselves by crying, if you have reached your max, remove them or yourself to a safe spot and take a breath". I document everything daily and send to the parents (my thinking is that if I choose to terminate, it will be no suprise and I will be as guilt free as possible).
