Have a child starting this week. A 3 year old on the second day of care. She is SOOOO quiet but in a very stubborn, unhappy way. She doesnt eat here, just pick at food. She doesnt play, just stand close enough to the kids to get in their way. She doesnt talk except to ask me to do things with just her, excluding all others. She does not respond to me when I talk to her or ask her a questions. She stand stiff and tight if I direct her to do anything and stares at me blankly although I know full well she understands what is being asked of her. She didnt want to cooperate for anything this morning so I just put her down for early nap....of course, she stiffened up and held her arms to her body and would not bend her legs to walk down the stairs to nap. I cant carry her....I dont carry big kids and besides that, I am 29 weeks pregnant. So I did have to pry an arm away from her body and pull a little....she was being so stiff that she hopped down the stairs one step at a time because she refused to bend her legs.
This whole thing is weird because she is being very disruptive without making a sound. She previously was in nanny care so this is a whole new ballgame for her. I know its going to take time but I would love to hear any advice or experience!
