[quote=Anonymous]Well, if you can't convince the mother to let you try something else then it's useless (and I'm the prior MB poster saying this.) She is setting you up to fail. You can tell her that in your experience a child who has never had a new caregiver needs help adjusting. Right now, he does see something wrong in his well established world - there is a stranger invading it. Let him experience some other change of pace and you will start seeming familiar. If he has something new and different to focus on he'll forget about you being new. If she won't hear that then you have to decide if you can stand it in the short term. I'd really be tempted to say "I'm sorry, but if I'm unable to take him out of the apartment I don't think he is going to adjust quickly enough for me to help you. Good luck." I know I should be more sympathetic about parents who are this anxious, but I'm really not. I think it does a real disservice to the kids to shelter them so fully.[/quote]
