5 months ago I took on another child, who will be 2 next month, very sweet, quiet, in fact probably the most placid, easy going child I've ever looked after in over 10 years of minding, now the issue, my 3 year old has taken a real dislike to her, the first thing she asks as she comes in my door, is whether said child is coming, cries and cries if she is, or is already there, have to peel her off mum, she will sit and cry for about 20 minutes, refuses to do anything, will come round for small episodes during the day, but really dislikes this child, I have no idea why. it is becoming a problem, has anybody else had any issues like this before, any suggestions would be greatly received. I have to be honest and say my 3 year old is not going anywhere without a struggle at the moment (pre school, nannies etc) and I'm wondering if she is using my newbie as her reason to not want to come here, today I have only had to mention said child's name and she has gone off the scale, it almost looks like she's scared of her, she honestly has a look of fear.
