Oh my!! So sorry you're going through this!

What is different at play groups do you think? Could you "threaten" to terminate just to make the parents aware of how serious this is? Maybe just the possibility of termination would motivate mom to curb this behaviour?

Set up a playpen in the corner of the main play area. When he cries pop him in, say "no crying" and leave him till he stops. If he doesn't stop, every 10min or so simply remind him "when you stop crying you can come out". As soon as he stops take him out...as soon as he starts up again pop him back. Keep calm and simply restate "no crying".

Could the fact that you are trying so many different ways to please him be what is making it longer for him to settle in?

Stop trying? Lol...just leave him to figure out that this is how it is now. If he is crying all the time with you standing on your head trying to please him then he might as well cry with you not killing yourself trying to find a magic solution.

Oh trust me I've tried nothing. Lol. I ignore him and play with the other kids. He still cries and tries to follow his sister around. I unfortunately don't have rm to add a playpen to the playrm. I do look at him and say no firmly, I know he gets it because he'll tone it down or stop. But then I turn away and he starts again. Lol.

Tried it. She doesn't care. Lol. I just texted her now, that I will talk to her tonight at pick up because today was bad. He's not even napping right now. No break from his crying. I seriously think I've met my match. I honestly think I've tried everything and he is just so stubborn that he probably thinks do whatever u want i won't stop.....I want out of here. Haha. I swear he thinks that!!
