Always nice to know there are other providers in the same boat. Working with kids that we may think have some reason to be concerned with their development and then trying to get the parents to listen to us and do something about it. To often they don't want to hear abou it.Comment

To continue my story...................
The mom has asked me several times how much he sleeps during the day. She would like me to give him 2 naps a day as she does at home on the weekends. He is almost 20 mo. I told her that he is not tired in the morning. There is no way I could get him to nap in the morning. I asked her why, she told me because he is a mess at night. He's crabby, screaming, controllable until they put him to bed (at 6:30).he is picked up at 5:00...... she joked that maybe he is just bored at home....Could be. He is very busy here during the day.
He is in bed by 6:30 pm and up at 6am....my house at 7am until 5pm...mornings are rush, rush with the mom getting herself ready and her 4 yr old and the little one.....no quality time in the morning...from 5-6:30 it's hurry hurry getting dinner...4 yr old demanding attention...the boy doesn't get much I am guessing... His weekend schedule is almost the same.12 hours of sleep at night with 2 long naps (9:00 - 11:00am and again 2:00-4:00)...so, this 20 month old boy is sleeping 16 hours out of a 24 hour day......he is awake approx. 18 hours in a weekend..........she feels that he has his 'meltdowns' because he needs more sleep.........
Ok....... I have to bite my tongue when she says that to me.........Comment
