Hi, I am hoping someone can give me some advice or whatever I need! I look after a child who doesn't speak English (about 19 month old) although I think he does understand English. He does like to scream though! On Monday he screamed for a good 2 hours or more, if I looked at him or gave him a toy he would scream even worse! I managed to get him to have lunch but if I looked at him or tried to encourage him to eat he would scream. My oh came home at lunch time (his lunch break) and again if he looked at him he would scream. We cam back from the school run and he didn't want to get out of the buggy, he is quite capable of getting out of the buggy himself, when I tried to get him out if the buggy he would scream.
I have him again tmrw which is his normal day but I am dreading it if he is going to ahvea repeat of this performance. How can I fill anything in on his learning journal? I cannot really fill much in if he refuses to play and is that stubborn to not join in!
DO you think that maybe part of the screaming is because he has been unwell so off for 3 weeks and also frustration because he doesn't speak English? There are lots of questions I have and keep mulling it over. I would prob lose him if I coud get someone to replace him as he is only really one day a week.
What would you do? I hasten to add even my other mindee was getting frustrated he wasnt interacting with her!
