I currently look after two 3 year old mindees every day. Over the last few weeks one of them has become really difficult and doesn't want to join in, won't even sit next to the other, goes off in a sulk when things aren't going his way, being really competetive has to be first all the time, crying all the time, telling tales on the other mindee all the time.
Dad of mindee in question has just learned that he is to be made redundant so maybe bad vibes at home are affecting him, he has actually said to me he is sad because daddy is sad.
They are both due to start school nursery in September and I am praying they go at separate times as I am beginning to feel they need time apart, they are literally driving me up the wall and I'm not sure quite what to do as I've not looked after two who were so close in age. I suppose it's a bit like sibling rivalry, when they are on their own they are both lovely children.
