Mindee has been coming to me full time since january, 8am to 6pm. he turned 3 in feb and although he was a little quiet at first he sooned settled in well and has a really good relationship with my daughter who is 2 and a half. he can be very strong willed at times, as with all children :) . over the last 6 months there have been lots of changes at home, both parents being made redundant and dad is still looking for work although mum is now working longer hours than before. his older brother has just gone back to school into year 3, and he has a really strong relationship with him too.
since last friday every day that he has come he has cried. not when mum has left/picked up, but constantly throughout the day. he doest want to play, doesnt want to join in with activities, doesnt want to play out, just wants to sit in the corner and cry. he wont tell me what the matter is, i have tried everything. the only times he isnt crying is when the tv is on, and as soon as i turn it off it starts again. if we go out (soft play/groups etc) he is fine, but we get home and it starts again. i'm starting to dread being in the house with him as its starting to disrupt my other mindees and daughter too now. i have chatted with mum about it and she just seems to brush it off as nothing but i really dont know what to do!!! :huh:
