Ugh !!! I have a 4 !! Year old who refuses to wear socks ! Parents have decided it's her choice . I sent a note explaining with the weather changing we need socks ( and I'm anticipating an issue with gloves , hat ect )
They bring her without socks , we began the morning by putting on socks . After 1 1/2 hr noticed socks were off . I kept it light , please put socks on ! And it was on !!
1 hr of wailing crying ! I have her her blankie , and space and really tried to go on with circle time !! But it was almost impossible with her wailing ! I persevered ! She missed circle time , craft and snack . As soon as she stopped I asked if she wanted help and she did and socks have been on since then . I have written 2 notes to parents and scrapped them ! I'm trying to relax now and I'm trying not to ambush parents with my horrible morning but I'm wondering , should I be bothering ?
I'm frustrated at the moment and considering the length of this outburst deciding if I want to keep working with the family . It isn't the first outburst and besides writing in a book there doesn't seem to be much support . If I mention at pick up to dcd he always expresses shock ! But then I'm told she will outburst at home for 45 min !! Soo while I process my intention to continue care I'm wondering if making her wear socks is a big issue ? I want to pick my battles !!
