hi...
I've had a 18month old settling with me .. and during the first few weeks there was a lot of crying.. now he seems to be settling down well and I'm getting better at distracting him when he gets fretful...
I've told mum all of this and how well he's now eating, happy to get changed and everything .. and she said 'well at home all week all he does is talk about him coming here again'... but unfortunately this leads him to getting really upset. Hence when its talked about at home he's focusing on my setting being upsetting for him rather than fun..:panic: .. and on top of that he's not slept well at night since we've started this..:eek: .. not too much pressure ..
I can try my best to make him happy here and I really think its slow but he's getting better each week he comes... however it sounds like the mum isn't happy with progress ??
what wud you do? what you broach the subject with mum? its making me feel nervous :o
