I’m curious to hear if anyone has had issues with a child working themselves up so much during a meltdown that they vomit.
This child is an older toddler, but meltdowns and tantrums can come from separation anxiety/ sharing/ and unknown reasons. The issue is that it’s full out vomiting at least twice a day. We have visual schedules and verbal songs to warn of transitions etc and the chid gets comforted verbally and physically, and has a quiet area with bean bag chair and books etc to help calm down. There seems to be various reasons for the meltdowns. I realize the child almost 2, so coping skills may not be great, but I’ve never had one that vomits multiple times a day when upset.
Any strategies?
Do you send a child home who vomits multiple times a day due to distress?
I’ve got another infant to care for as well as 3 preschool kids, and it’s difficult to deal with all of this and the other daycare kids too.
Suggestions please?!!
