You're telling me . Thank goodness he's only here twice a week for four and a half hours a day. I've been working with him like I do with all of my new infants and trying to get him used to not having his demands met immediately but so far I have seen no improvements when usually it would be at least a little bit better. I will talk to him to sooth him and make eye contact with him and such so that he knows that I see him and aware of him but make him wait a few minutes each time that he starts to fuss to try to get him used to being in group care but after an hour of non-stop repetitive grunts it's like nails on a chalkboard.

I'll give it another few weeks and see how it goes. He's here only for this semester (while DCM goes to school) and if I don't see improvements in his needing to be held or a reduction in his grunting and screaming I don't think I'll be extending their contract if she goes back for summer or fall session .
