I look after a little boy who is now 3.5yrs, he started with me when he was 6m old so he knows me very well and used to come 50hrs a week until last jan when i gave up fridays. He started nursery on Fridays and although he wasnt happy at first, the feedback i get from them is that hes settled in very well.
Hes always been a quiet little chap but can be boisterous at times, loves to play dragons etc. Hes always well behaved and ive never had any problems with him misbehaving etc. Hes always been sensitive and will cry very easily but recently its got worse. In the last few months he has been extra sensitive. Firstly i put it down to being tired but now its been going on for a few weeks. He doesnt have tantrums but completely melts into what can only be discribed as an emotional wreck. If someone says something to him, i'll find him in a puddle of tears and the tears literally just come and come as he sits quietly. Sometimes i dont know hes crying because hes so silent but will just find him absolutely soaking wet as tears just flow so fast.
Anyway in the past few weeks anything has made him cry from another mindee talking to him to being petfrified of the dark den, playing dragons which he used to love. One minute he was roaring loudly as others were screaming and hiding and the next thing he,s moved into another room because someone else has roared and i'll find him absolutely beside himself.
I told parents and they said hes sleeping well but some mornings he gets up a bit early, around 6am. Every day they ask how hes been and i truthfully tell them that weve had a lot of tears again. This morning i was on school run and Mum was late so she met me on the hill, mindee had leapfrog in backof car and he had it in his hand. I told Mum that he would have to leave it with her as i had single buggy and not a lot of space. I was on my way to school and then toddler group so couldnt take it with me. He was a little put out and wouldnt wave to her but after she had gone he sobbed for 50mins....then weve had 2 more lots.
Do you think it could be a surge of hormones maybe? Ive not come across this quite as bad as it is.
