I know we've all had those nightmares of a child who doesn't adjust. This is different-happy child who sleeps and doesn't scream all day. 11 months, and has been FT for 1 month. Child is exceptionally busy and strong despite being undersized for the child's age. This child can destroy a room in about a minute. Constant dumping of items, and will overturn the easel or train table in 5 seconds flat. Can crawl faster than my 2 year olds can run. Can push my kitchen table across the floor and move the BBQ across the deck when we're outside. Topples the baby gates and the superyard enclosure, so the high chair is the only way to contain this child when I'm diapering or getting other kids dressed etc. The child tries to pull over things like the cubbies/large art cupboard/all the toy shelves etc. I've never seen anything like it(well, not in a child this age) The parents know this child is busy, but it's an only child, so probably don't get the same sense I do, when they only have 1 child to deal with at home. This child has become 1-1 care, and my focus on the other 4 kids has definitely been reduced. I've worked with many high needs kids, both in a centre and in home daycare, and usually when I see behaviours like this surface, they are about 16-18 months old. I'm at a loss, as I can't really let this child run amok during free play. Just one of those kids who can't sit still and is into everything, and destructive too. Help??? Have you ever termed an infant due to behaviour, when it's not really a "failure to settle in" issue. I feel that the extra income is not worth it right now, as I'm so stressed, and so are the other kids. The rest of my group are 2yrs+ and a really calm bunch. Feedback please?? Thanks!
