I have a little boy like this right now too. Drives me crazy too. Ive come to the realization that I can only do with him what I can do. So I make sure he is fed and has a clean diaper and when he plays, everything is fine. When he starts screaming because of whatever reason, off he goes into the other room in his pnp until he either calms down or goes to sleep (20 min increments). Its working so far. I have some sanity because the other way wasnt working one bit. Everytime I'd turn around to leave (I didnt have to actually leave), he'd scream. If I walked away, forget it! The world is coming to an end. If the dog barks, he gets anxious because he knows the dog barks when someone is here and he thinks it might be his parent so he screams. He screams everytime he cant see me. He screams if I make eye contact with him because I think he reminds him that he wants me to hold him or something. He screams all day long. The other day he screamed for three hours straight, non stop. Not even on/off again, constant! I finally put him in the pnp in the other room and he calmed down. Its wierd. He isnt tired when he does it, or hungry. We just dont mesh I guess. It really disrupts the other kids and our schedule and it makes everyone tense and upset. The 2-3 year olds bicker more because I think its just frustrating to have to listen to him all day. I am terming him in a couple of weeks. I cant take it anymore. Im giving the parents notice probably next Monday. We've needed the money. Thats why I kept him as long as Ive had him. But I cant take it anymore. I dont look forward to watching him at all anymore. Its time for him to move on.
