My first day with my new mindee today, he is 12mnths old and has special needs. i had him, a 2 year old and a nearly 4 year old, and we went to toddler group!!
It was a good day but boy am i tired, ive hardly sat down all day, only had 1 cuppa and just grabbed some toast for lunch. The older 2 were lovely with him and 2 year old kept stroking him, she was doing it on his head but i told she could only touch his arms and legs! but she was so gentle, its funny how they seem to 'know' that she had to be gentle.
I will be better tommorrow i think as i know him a bit more and know i can handle it, dont think i will be as stressed.

Anyone else get stressed with new littlies starting?

Yes, I do - I always want to make sure they've had a nice time, I've given them enough attention, they fit in with the other lo's, etc, etc.

You've got to get to know them and their parents........................

And you don't want the other lo's to feel pushed out..................

:eek: Why do we do this job! :laughing:
