New dcg 21 months is screaming and crying all the way to my door in the morning. I hear her from the moment she’s out of the car. She takes at LEAST an hour to stop every day. Mom leaves right away and has been great with that. She was previously at a daycare center. I give her a favorite toy and a pillow right next to me but I do not pick her up or give any attention to the fit. I give her positive attention when there are any breaks in the screams.
I serve breakfast right after she arrives and she just screams through it. At first I would put her at the table but she would not eat a bite and would scream the whole time. I would wait for a break in her screaming to put her at the table because kids aren’t allowed to be screaming at the table here. If a child throws a fit during a meal, they are done eating. Now, I don’t make her go to the table but rather invite her to join us. It’s just too loud. Mom says she doesn’t eat at new places and it’s normal for her.
Once the fit is over she’s an absolute dream child! She’s sweet and talkative. She naps like an angel! She eats lunch and snack with no problem. She doesn’t want to leave at pickup.
Is there something I should change with her drop off routine? I want it to be easier on her and her mother. And her screaming is SO loud! It’s hard to take for over an hour and through breakfast every single day...Give me your wisdom!!!
