I work in a center, and we have an Infant/Young Toddler Room. There's a about 5 kids in there...2 14 or 15-month olds, 2 just-turned-one's, and 7 month old. (At 18 months they go to the Toddler Room).
They all cry ALL DAY LONG.
They are not neglected, the teacher attends to their every need. They are played with all day long, sang songs with. They are fed exactly when they're hungry, allowed to nap when they get tired....If there's more than four present, there's automatically two teachers in there. The same two teachers everyday.
They just are never happy. They all have to be held in order to not cry, so one or two of them is crying at all times. And at 14 and 15 months, they shouldn't need to be held all the time should they?
There's one little girl who is the oldest, but too young (and too immature) to go to the Toddler Room, who goes into what can only be described as a tantrum at the slightest provocation. If she wants to stand on a chair, and is taken down, she will cry for 30+ minutes inconsolably...
Are these all rage babies??
