Forced Vomiting, Ugh!!

[EntropyControlSpecialist]

Calling their parents to pick up may make it worse, as most kids would love going home early with Mom and Dad.

I would get the parents on board with this plan.......call the parents to let them know it happened again, but don't have them pick up. That way you cover yourself if the child says they threw up and the parent is upset you didn't let them know.

Every time they do it, they get to lie down for the rest of the day because they're "sick". No crafts, no music time....just lay still and do nothing.

As they protest and say they're not sick, remind them that they vomited, so they must be ill and therefore need to rest.

I think the novelty of vomiting and the associated chaos will soon wear off.

I like it.


We had one that used to look at the food and start gagging. If he started gagging he would throw up. We would look him directly in the eyes and tell him, "Stop. You are fine." in a very firm voice. It did and he now will eat just about anything. Praise the Lord because the throwing up icked me out.

Yup, I have done this in the past and it worked perfectly. Also, if I have a child that has gone for a week without eating anything here, I will implement the sick theory. Since they are unwilling to even try their food, they must be sick and I will put them on a cot. Of course if they start feeling better, and feeling hungry, their food is waiting for them. Then I just ignore them and have the children do one of their favorite activities. :: They start eating very well and soon.

So I just took video of DCK#2 screaming at the top of their lungs, then forcing themselves to vomit at lunch time.

All of the other dck sat with their hands over their ears and one was crying with hands over ears. I sent it to the DCD and said come get your child.

Boy is DCD mad...He is on his way now, so curios to hear what he has to say....

OMG I cannot believe that this is something that you have to go through! I don't handle throw up. One and done. If you are going to keep the kid that started all of this then I love the idea of telling them that they must be sick and need to go and lay down. Then I would walk them right up to bed. I am SO sorry that is going on for you right now! I cant wait to hear what dcd has to say!

[Country Kids]

Please keep us updated on what dcd has to say! I'm so curious that if I was a cat it would kill me-

Yup me too. Can't wait to hear how this turns out.

[daycare]

Oh wow.....

so DCD shows up and says he is very sorry. He tells me that this has been an issue at home and that mom is the blame. he completely throws his wife under the bus, but i am happy he did.

He told me that ever since he started working nights that DCM will give into him not eating the dinner that dcd cooked and instead will give him fruit roll-up or fruit snacks, or whatever dck wants to eat just so she does not have to deal with DCK. Yeah way to go mom....NOT

He told me that DCK went to grandparents over the weekend to his moms house and that she called him 4 times about the eating issues. So he said he was aware that it is an issue.

So dcd said I don't mean to put you in the middle of this, I will take him home today and see that he eats and follows all of your table rules, but next time, mom needs to come and pick him up, please be sure to call her. He then told me better yet, isn't it in your policy that they can't come back for 24 hours after they vomit?? I said yes, but I know he's not sick. So DCD says well I think he needs to stay home so that mommy can miss her girls day out tomorrow and have to deal with the monster that she created.............high 5 DCD.. happyfacehappyface

So DCK is not coming back tomorrow and mommy gets to deal with it. I am so thankful that I have a DCD that has some sense of logic. I just hope that they don't start arguing in front of DCK.......CUZ DCD was pissed

See? An issue created at home needs to be addressed at home.

Totally NOT cool to make it your problem..... I still stand by my send them home advice. I would use an alternate method of dealing with the situation IF it was started and reinforced at home and had this been an illness type throw up incident.

This is a behavioral issue.

Nice to see that DCD and DCM will HAVE to fix this together, and that DCD was understanding of the position this type of behavior puts you in

very true BC...... dcd just sent me a text and said......

don't tell dcm that I was the one that said he can't come back for 24 hours, I don't want to sleep on the sofa tonight, my back already hurts.......

I said no worries, it is policy afterall..

Before I moved to where I live now, I had a neighbor who also did day care. I ended up watching her behaviorally challenged nephew one day when her day care was closed. She asked me what I was serving for lunch and when I told her, she said, "Oh, he doesn't like that. Every time I serve it, he makes himself vomit." Sure enough, once I started handing the kids their plates and he saw what we were having for lunch, he started to make himself gag and vomit. I looked him right in the eye and in my quietest, firmest voice said, "Don't. You. Dare!" He was caught off guard and stopped immediately. He ate his lunch and I never had a problem with him again.::
