He does much better when he's alone with each of us, but as soon as we get togther, it's like he gets totally overstimulated. Gets silly and does a lot of impulsive things. My son has sensory issues, not sure if it overstimulates or What!
does he act bad with u r just mean to her when u r around him? from exsperence of my 3yr old someone that my child has no choice but to see has acted up with this person when i was around but when i wasnt acted like was having a fun time i know this person has hurt my child i have seen it i asked my childs counslor and it was said children feel safe with the parent around so the exspess their feelings at that time
now that this person hasnt been alone with my child in over a yr attitude has changed an is now a normal child even when seeing this person with me supervising
im not saying something is happening but talk to ur son instead of getting on to him for acting up maybe something is happening and hes trying to exspress his feelings the best way he knows how
I don't like the way she acted and walked away like that, I think adults should be able to control themselves better. He said he pulled her hair b/c she was on him, it all happened so quick. He loves this sitter and she is good with the kids and shows up. I work odd hours and it's not as easy to find a sitter either. I will see what happens tomorrow. If she doesn't want to watch anymore, then I will find someone else.
I think this sitter is weird, benjimom. If I had a child in my care who was consistently out of control (which she said) the LAST thing I would do is get into a grass throwing fight with him. That's just odd. In a grass throwing fight, hair pulling seems pretty fair game, IMHO.
The fact that another child hit her while you were there, to me, indicates she is absolutely not in control.
Can you find another sitter?
