Screaming/crying infant- How to make parents realise the problem is serious?

[martymonty]

I am dealing with a similar situation right now, the dcb has been here for two weeks and cries all the time unless I am bolding him. He barley naps, maybe 20-40 minutes all day ( he just turned one) and he MUST sleep in a for again. His mom said he has never been out down to nap or sleep on his own, but has always been rocked to sleep, so now he is fighting me every step of the way. I do not know if I want to continue this scenario every day, I now have other dcp asking me how long I am going to put up with this, and I don't want to lose them. I've get a good bunch of kids here, but this little one has thrown a curve ball into our days for sure. What is a "reasonable" amount of time to give a new dck...I have never had one do this for this long in my 28 years of providing daycare. I am exhausted and the other kids do not like it either

I just went through this! I am so sorry that you are dealing with this

Has this dcb had time socializing with other children? Maybe request that his parents refrain from rocking him to sleep? How is he with the other children? Do his parents let him cry it out?
It sounds very similar to the contract I had to terminate I don't think a child should be crying all day long after 2 weeks. Has there been any improvements at all?
