I honestly believe not ALL kids are cut out for daycare. Some kids will never, ever transition IMO. And, if mom is constantly holding him or running to his every whimper at home that won't help either.

If it were me he would not get held AT ALL during the day. If I wanted to show him one on one I would set him on the floor and get on the floor with him but I would not pick him up. My guess is he uses the screaming as a method of manipulation to get what he wants - YOU!

If a child does not transition or show significant improvement in 4 weeks time I terminate.
