Other than the typical health issues that would send a child home, or severe aggression, when else would you call parents to get them?
I have a child(15mos) full time, who is having severe transition issues. The child tantrums to the point of gagging/vomitting when I move 6 inches away, and behaves this way all day(including hysterical screaming/gagging during the 2.5 hrs of nap because the normal routine at home is a bottle while being rocked to sleep-not gonna happen here!) The other kids are scared of him, and no one has had a proper nap in over 3 weeks due to the screaming. After the child was dropped off this a.m., I was informed from the driveway as they pulled out that this child hasn't slept more than an hour in the last 32 hrs. OMG are you kidding me???? Needless to say we've had another lovely morning LOL!!! I think the child has alot of anxiety, but I've never had one this bad. The child also bites self and bangs head on things during these tantrums.
I need the money, but I've never been so frazzled with one like this, and the other kids are stressed out too. It is 1 on 1 care, and I've got other kids to attend to as well. Have you ever called a parent to pick up because the whole week is one big meltdown? I'm seriously considering terming very shortly. Suggestions please????
Is it worth sticking it out?
