Hi all
I have new child in my setting. She has been with me about a month - wasn't here last week. I knew today would be tough!
She isn't settling too well. Still very grizzly at drop off collection time. Lots of tears today. She seems to stop for a bit, play then start again.
But main concern is that she won't sleep in travel cot, on the occasion she does eventually go off it's for 15 mins at most. I think she wakes up and realises where she is and sets her off again! Today I just ended up putting her in buggy and walking she went off. I'm thinking should I just do this in future and not bother with the cot! I stay outside the room and go in after 5 mins to settle. Mum says just leave her to cry... Obv I can't do that!
I see mum at swimming club and lo I think has always been clingy and shouty/grizzly. I think her older brothers ( 6 and 8) give her lots if attention pick her up. Dad also likes to pick her up. Although she doesn't particularly want to be picked up by me!
We are starting 2 sessions a week this week hoping this will help. Anyone had a child like this.
The thing that's really for my goat is that mum is late paying again - first one late, second one late. I also fond a note in lo bag saying please make sure she has enough to drink as she was thirsty. Implying I'm not giving her enough! Seriously!!! I am with holding water!!!?!
Lo always have enough to drink here, always on offer, always available. I'm sure it will get better, I'm pre menstrual. Doesn't help... Probably being paranoid! Ggrrrrrr
Sorry for the rant
