I don't have a 22 month old that will do those things, I have a 4 yr old DCB that will have major meltdowns almost everyday. He will have meltdowns when he doesn't get his way and he screams and will either go hide behind the chair or roll around on the floor screaming"I want to be a good boy" and he just keeps saying that over and over until he calms himself down,which sometimes is 15 minutes. I just have to walk out of the room and let him scream it out.
I have had many conversations with the parents about this and he does this at home also and they are at a loss on how to handle these meltdowns themselves. He had a meltdown so bad the other day that I had emailed the Mom and told her if he didn't stop doing these that day, she would need to come get him and bring him back when he could behave.
The DCB wants to go home as before they came to me, he had a nanny and liked being at home, so he wants to stay at home.
She emailed me aback saying that if she came and got him that it would be just giving in to him because he does want to be a home.
I thought to myself...you want me to handle your child all day like this....it is the parents job to handle their child and deal with this kind of behavior, not mine, not my job. I tried to handle it all day, was going crazy, but made it through the day.
I am going to term him, but have to wait a few months financially before I can term him. Not sure I can make it that long as he was hitting another child today and had emailed Mom about that issue. I do not tolerate hitting in my daycare. We will see what she responds with, but do you think I should be expected to handle a child that has major meltdowns daily as doing daycare for him? I don't think that I am equipped to handle this kind of behavior and I really think there is something wrong with him, chemical imbalance or something like that.
I just hope that the parents will start to put things together and maybe think he needs some professional help.
