We've had this child in our care for three months almost. She is full time and always says the same thing EVERY DAY. Her phrases: "When is my Grandma going to be here to pick me up?" and "My grandma's going to come get me." She tells all of us (three providers) every five minutes with occasional breaks. She has even begun telling everyone else's parents when they are trying to pick up their child.
What confuses me is this: we had an issue with another girl who constantly "let it rip" and the kids thought it was funny and they would "evacuate the area" to let it air out for a minute before resuming play. After a few of these instances I started telling this girl (her friend) "If you need to fart, go to the bathroom. It's not polite to do it out here." SOOO, everyday this 3YO girl who talks about grandma coming says to me, "Remember what you told me? Fart in the bathroom." ::, why can't she remember not to talk about her Grandma every 5 minutes???
This is her first daycare and Grandma spends plenty of time with her as they're a close family. Her first month at daycare she never had friends because all she would talk about was her grandma this and her grandma that. Soon the kids started saying "Enough about your Grandma, I don't want to hear about it." They actually said that to her a lot and she'd cry. How can I get these common worries and phrases of hers to stop? She is almost 4 and I feel like I've tried everything.
Examples: We read a book together. "My Grandma read that book to me"
We play play-doh. "My Grandma has play-doh at her house"
We go outside. "My Grandma lets me play in her yard"..... neverending.
