Hi! I am taking care of a 2 year old boy who cries about almost everything and I don't know what to do. He gets dropped off and everything is fine until you try to interact with him. I usually need to change him, as he frequently shows up with a full diaper and the same clothes on as the day before. I say, "come on, lets go change your diaper", and he says no and starts crying. He doesn't get breakfast at home, so I need to feed him. Ask him if he wants anything, cereal, yogurt, banana, etc., he says no and starts crying. Even if I don't ask and just put something in front of him, he starts crying. Ask him if he wants to get out some toys, he says no and starts crying. The other kids play and if they try to get him to play with them he says no and cries. All he really does is stand and stare. His mom say he just might need extra love and affection, but if I pick him up he says "down" and cries. Today he got dropped off with his favorite truck. He is not paying it any attention. Ask him if he wants to play with it and he cries. The other kids tried to play with it and he went nuts crying and pushing them away from it. Now it is just sitting there and he is standing and staring again calmly. What can I do to help him or should I just leave him alone?
