[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is your son crying all the time? Does he get enough sleep? Enough food?

It’s amazing how kids are predictable in these ways. Unless there is some major underlying psychological problem with anxiety, problems at home, kids become 180 degrees different when they get tons of food (healthy snacks) and plenty of rest.

Is this her first job? Has she watched kids before? Ask her how much she fed him.

Sometimes I feel like I spend all day going from breakfast to snack to lunch to snack to dinner and bedtime but otherwise my child gets cranky. Even my older kids show the same pattern if they don’t get enough food and sleep.

This is why a nannying job is hard and experience matters. Does she know these things?

I would try doing more feeding and more sleeping and see if your child turns around.

Also if your DS is an infant, he might have silent reflux. It’s very common.

Where does she have to go anyway? If staying home is what your child needs, all those music classes and outings don’t matter much anyway in the long run so I would have her stay home. Order groceries online. Amazon Fresh is great. I alternate between Amazon Fresh and Amazon Prime.[/quote]

He refuses to take a nap and basically eats dry snacks all day. [/quote]

So he’s overtired and his diet is crappy.

Either you need to change your orenting strategies a LOT or you are already doing all you can to set and enforce appropriate limits around meals and bedtime and behavior and he has some underlying SN that need a diagnosis and a better plan of attack.[/quote]
