Parents Not Communicating

[mickyc]

I terminated a boy once because he screamed all day. By nap I couldn't take it anymore. His cries were so high pitched I just couldn't handle it. I was already the 2nd daycare. She lasted 1 day, I lasted 3. Mom was totally understanding when I said it wasn't working. My other kids just covered their ears the whole time. It was a horrible experience. His 3rd daycare clicked and he didn't cry as much. Who knows why. He was the only kid I had that I called mom by nap. I have never had a child like that since thank goodness! It usually takes time to adjust but boy did that kid scream!

Also if a child throws up no matter the reason they go home.

Do you have any brief moments the child stops?

Oh my god!! That was funny to read but I know it the moment it is not funny at all!!!! It hasn't happened to me yet but I am preplanning when the new child starts. I don't know why I am so nervous.

I once had a child I terminated the day of because whenever I didn't hold her she screamed not cried screamed! She made everyone else cry because I couldn't hold her the whole time. If you were holding her she was great but as soon as I put her down omg!!

Nap time she screamed the whole time! I put her down and she ran after me and did a face plant. Her face was really bruised and I almost had a heart attack. I terminated right after the because I was honestly to scared too keep her.

Okay thank you everyone.

What do you do if you have a child who won't stop crying. I mean cries from am to pm and starts to make throwing up noises from crying so hard. How long would you let it go until you call or would you even call at that point.

I would never call for this.

Likewise, I would not pick up just because they crying. Instead I make sure lot of close interaction, without picking up. Lot of change activities to occupy. Lot of texture play like sand, play dough. Keep busy. I have had many cry for week or so but after third day, it less frequent and by second week, much better. It big adjustment. Different house. No Mommy. Group care. Huge difference. But I send child firm message from get go that I not carrying around just because they wish for. I not able to carry all, or multiples so I not set myself up for that. Unless child hurt, or ill, I only cuddle when reading time or playing. Lot of time for love but can't be on demand or to pacify because sooner or later, child need to not be picked up constantly.
