Hey there!
I just took on a 2.5 year old boy for only one full day per week. The first day I had him, he literally had a screaming tantrum for 2.5-3 hours straight. He spent most of that time trying to escape out of the front door. The rest of the day was spent with him whining and being unhappy.
I realize that this may be a somewhat normal reaction to the first day of daycare. But I have never had a kid scream bloody murder for that long.
My concern is that he may have a very hard time warming up to us because he is only coming one day per week. I just don't know how long the other daycare kids and I will be able to tolerate the prolonged screaming.
How do you normally handle this sort of thing? How many weeks would you give the kid to adjust before terming?
