I have a just turned 3yo DCG I've had since Aug. There are 2 other 3 yo girls here, and they all get along wonderfully. This little girl is a little over emotional, and we have struggled with meltdowns, but nothing too extreme. I was closed M-W this week.
Yesterday she got here, all was okay until 9:30 when she lost it. Nothing triggered it, she just started bawling while she was sitting watching my DD dance. I sent her to go lay down, and she fell asleep until 11. I texted DCM about her sleeping, and told her if she woke up in the same mood she went down in, she'd need to be picked up. I offered her lunch, (doesn't ever eat), and then during story time she lost it again. DCD came to get her.
This morning, she hadn't even gotten in the door, and she was screaming and asking to leave. 30 minutes of DCM trying to calm her (while everyone else was arriving...what a mess). Finally DCM askd DCG if she wanted to go to the back up provider (where she went when I was closed on Wednesday) and DCG said yes. DCM asked if anything had happened here, and I assured her nothing did, so I don't know what to tell her. DCM took her and left.
So....What are your thoughts? I have a really good relationship with DCM, and my DD and DCG are great friends. I don't want to lose them, but I have a feeling they are going to term, it was mentioned this morning that maybe the other provider is a better fit.
Any advice or experience with this?
