Sounds like he is getting his 2nd year molars.

I would try working with this before terming. The age that your at right now can be very trying on us providers.

When he can't be right next to you so that you can redirect him right away from the issues, I would put him in a high chair with a table toy.

Mom can stay in denial. She knows what her child is like and either doesn't care, or it doesn't bother her or she does not see his behavior as a problem. Worry about when he is in your care, because it is out of your control when he is home. If she has issues with that, tell her that you do what you feels is best when he is in your care. If that is not good enough let them go.

If you still feel it is a concern for the Dr. request that she bring in a note from her pediatrician. She refuses, she is putting the other kids at harm and reason to let her go.

Good luck-
