Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Dear Rita, I'm thinking that interaction with one child, perhaps a little older, might be the way to start. If she is somehow upset at the commotion, or fast activity of other kids, just take it back a notch and find a really sweet relative or neighbor who wants to take the time to interact with your cute little granddaughter. :-) Don't worry about groups of kids at the moment. The best thing may be just to keep Caitlyn interested and curious about other kids. The screaming could be due to a lot of issues, so maybe try to isolate if the noise is too loud or the activity too frenetic for her pleasure, or is somehow disquieting to her because she may not fully comprehend the language yet. And it could be unrelated to the other children is any way. It could be that her tolerance level is low due to some other physical sensation or condition at the time. I'm thinking perhaps reflux or some other circumstance. When it is possible to return to the " Mother and Toddlers " groups, perhaps ease into it gently. Best luck. You are a wonderful gramma to take such interest in Caitlyn. I'm impressed. :-) Totally.
