[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it has anything to do with the daycare provider not being able to handle your DD.
I will give it to you straight: your child is difficult and she doesn't want to deal with her.  An 8 month-old should never have to be rocked for 10 minutes (likely longer for her) to go to sleep, especially when your daughter naps 2x per day.
As a childcare provider, I have found that the more high-needs a child (even that young), the more difficult the parents are.  I would rather fill the spot with a baby who won't cling to me all day.  Your baby needs a part-time nanny.
You need to work on this OP.[/quote]

I agree with this. I am a daycare provider also. High needs children make it very hard for the other children to have a fair amount of attention as well. I remember having a child here that was a bit high needs. Had him for almost 1 year, worked with the parents in having them drop in as well as having a therapist coming in to work with the child. This meant having to adjust MY schedule to accommodate this need as well as keeping the other children out of the way and quiet while the therapist worked with the child. When I had my own adult daughter assist me one day while I went to a dr appt, the mother ased me if she realized her child needed my daughters Undivided attention. I guess she was to ignore everyone else in the house. The final straw came when she didnt feel I could handle having to put her child on the school bus and a newborn in the house and that was when I finally said look, I worked wit you on everything else, if after a year you havent seen I can handle this, time to move on. And she did, never heard another word from her. To be honest, I have to agree. The more difficult a child, the more difficult it is to work with the parents.

And for those who want to blame the provider, I would like to see you handle a roomfull of children, at naptime, trying to feed one a bottle possibly while trying to rock another for TEN minutes to sleep. Etc. Not saying it isnt impossible but somewhere along the way someone is going to get ignored or not given their fair amount of time. And that is not fair to either the one needing to be rocked nor to those other parents who are also paying good money for the care of their child.

Just my 2 cents[/quote]
