Hi,
(Posting this with permission from mum)
I currently care for a 20m old boy who's behaviour has recently changed.........he was a pleasant little person, becoming very independent and self willed and wasn't bothered when parents left him.
However, now, he has very clingy at drop off, making mum and dad feel guilty.......he hates being told "no" or to "stop it" (which is an age thing, I know) but is also becoming very jealous when mum is with another baby (especially his baby cousin). He has also started to headbang the floor when he's told off, which mum and dad are becoming concerned about....he has done it a couple of times whilst with me, I have told him not to do that, and he's immediately ran over for a cuddle.
Mum has just sent a panicked text saying his head is a mess and he's repeatedly banged the floor as she is holding the baby and she's really not sure what to do!
So anyone help anyone......I haven't experienced this before, and not sure if it's best to ignore, respond or try and find ways he can't do it?!
Please help, a desperate mum and childminder!
