I have a 2 yr old child in my home child care that has been here since late September. He started with coming one day a week. He cried non stop from 8am -5pm. I got Mom to add another day with hopes that it would help. He was doing better but now is worse than before. He refuses to even leave his highchair. not eating and no longer wants to participate in group activities. Any suggestions?

5 months is a long time for a child to be this uahappy. Where is dck the other days? How is he at home? -
If you can maybe offer an extra half day with the hopes that he will get more familiar with your environment. I really hate anyone doing 1-2 days cause its hard on the child and the provider.Comment

I agree with the other about how PT he is. I won't do less than 3 full days with a child under 3.
Is he not interested in what you are doing or offering for him to play with?Comment

Has he never been in dc before? Do you think there might be something different at home?
It's weird that he started doing better but now worse. Is there even one thing he'd stop to do or play with, something that'd catch his eye? Bubbles, music, painting with cars, anything?
Poor lil guy.
Poor YOU! I don't think all kids are cut out for group care at a young age. If dcm can maybe keep him home or have a grandma or somebody he's familiar with care for him, maybe another year or so might make a huge difference.

The other days he is one on one with grandparents,
It was like pulling teeth to get them to add second day.
I have heard from a mutual friend that he gets whatever he wants at home and very coddled.
He gets a lot of attention here also, but one on one is hard with 12 children.
He use to love circle time and projects. Now he tosses everything on the floor and refuses to do it.

Do you have a quiet soft space he can go to get away from the other kids that is not confined?
Does he have issues with direct eye contact, noise levels and personal space?- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

yes we have a quite spot. He screams louder if i try to take him out of highchair. eye contact does not seem to be a problem. and the other kids are holding their ears from his loud noise.
LOST!
Everyone is telling me everything I know and have told myself.
Its not me....He always hugs me and pats me before he leaves.
I guess i give it more time.
I don't want to give up on him!Comment
