Hi All,
I haven't posted on the forum before but am desperate for any words of wisdom.
I have been childminding for the last 6 weeks I childminded a few years ago but gave up,,,since returning the EYFS has come into place,,,thats a question for another time i have been keeping my daily diary and hope to put something together for the children i have in the near future before it gets too far down the line, I just have no idea how many obs, how, what, where and why,,, yes im clueless :laughing: but i'll look into all that soon.
I currently have an 8 month and a 3 year old mindees.
The 3 year old is great gets on with my two children (2 &5) But the 3 of them are so unsettled by the baby.
My youngest is becoming resentful and cries when i tell him we have to get ready for mummy to start work. I'm babling sorry !!
Anyway said baby is very anxious when seperated form physical contact, she sleeps in the same bed as mum has since birth, the parents take it in turns holding baby to eat, toilet or get dressed, i have even been told by the parent she sat on her knee on the toilet as not to let her cry!
I just cant do that !!
Every time i put the child down she screems, she can ony sleep if being held so is not having proper sleep whilst here, 70% of the time she cries if in the pushchair on a walk too. I am at my wits end with the situation and dont know what to do for doing wrong I have even contemplated buying a baby sling just to eat my lunch ive not had lunch for 6 weeks!!
She is with me full time so its 10 hours a day my eldest said yesterday he will be pleased to go back to school for peace and quiet.
Do I give in before I go insane or is there a way im just not trying to make things better?
Any advice greatly recieved.
Thankyou everyone x
