3 year old DCG (has been here over 1 year) has been having terrible screaming and crying fits lately.
I tell her to use the potty then sit on the circle rug, she screams and cries.
I tell her to cap her marker when she is finished coloring, she screams and cries.
I tell her it's time to clean up to go outside, she screams and cries.
On and on and on. When it happens I send her to the crying spot and once she calms down she will rejoin the group. The past two weeks it has really gotten bad and today she screamed for an hour after I told her to cap her glue stick.
I don't want to blame the parents, but I know how they are with her plays a role in this. They co-sleep and DCM can't stand to see DCG cry. If DCG cries mom immediately rushes to her and goes overboard with trying to get DCG to stop crying.
Aside from the crying spot, what else can I do to curb this behavior? FWIW, DCG was like this when she first started. The crying spot nipped it in the bud in about a week and she has been a pretty great kid ever since (with the exception of the past two weeks).
