[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a few moments of calm yesteday when I reccomended she put on the tv and give him cherios.  But once he say me that was it he wanted to be held.

I've been working from home to try to ease the transition and see how things go, but he doesn't want to have anything to do with her.

This would work so much better if you were not at home.  
He will only scream and cry for so long, and will eventually warm up to her.  I had a job where I had to be alone with him for about 3 days before he would even play with me.  It took about a month before he would really hug me.  We ended up very close, though.  Changing nannies will not fix this problem.

What helped me was to stop trying to get him out of his shell, and let him come to me when he was ready.  I would read his books out loud.  He was across the room, but would quiet down to listen.  I didnt acknowlege him, but just kept readimg.  I would spread his blocks on the floor and just start playing myself.  He eventually came over and played too.  It was something we could play together and didn't have to be super-close right away.

If she's a good nanny, go back to the office.  Best wishes.[/quote]
