I posted in the wrong thread so i'm posting again. I have a daycare boy who gets picked up at nap time everyday and he dosnt want to leave. He gets very loud and refuses to go home and wakes up the other kids. How do I get him to leave quietly? There are no family issues at home that I know of other then him living with his aunt and uncle.

You tell them this is not working and they must either pick up before nap at ____ or wait until ____ when everyone is awake.It:
: will wait -
May need a little more information but this is what I would try to look at as well
well, I'm not sure of his age or anything else because... like does he have issues in the morning coming to preschool or does he just join in immideatly? because that could mean that he has issues with secure attachment or if he just doesn't like being at home with his aunt/uncle (maybe they don't play games or have many toys or maybe if it's a new arrangment he misses his previous guardians {aka parents, grandma, etc.}). If he can talk maybe ask him "Why don't you want to go home with auntie/uncle?" or it could be that he's tired and maybe auntie and uncle don't let him nap and he wants to nap like everyone else. or maybe he just likes it there because there are other kids to play with. Also as a child care provider you are a mandated reporter, meaning you don't have to know for certain that their is abuse at home- you just have to suspect it; so if you notice any unusual marks or agressive behavior or emotional manipulation- I would report it.
You can try to prepare him through out the day for every event such as at lunch time "after we eat we are going to clean up then go to the bathroom and wash our hands, then everyone is going to go down for a nap and auntie/uncle is going to pick you up then they are going to take you home and your going to have fun and eat dinner and get ready for bed and after you wake up in the morning you'll come back and we'll start all over again"Comment
