Can anybody suggest some good day care center who can take care 19 months old son. I want near by benson town in bangalore. Will be happy if any middle aged woman can take care in their house. Sajitha replied. Children at that age are very attached to their mothers, specially if we live in another country. The main reason is we have very few or none relatives around who treat these little ones special and the fathers are busy with work. They think crying will only bring attention to them. And regarding their promises, it is simply meaningless as at their age they can only retain anything in their minds for a very short period of time. They are kids after all.
I would suggest that you engage them in lot of activities through the day so that they simply forget about being cranky. You can refer many art or any other projects for your kids to do. They really brighten up when they create something. Give them stickers to decorate or play dough or paints. It works for most children. SOmetimes you can give them a long shower or bubble bath when they are very cranky. They love it and it is very realaxing. A main thing is reduce their intake of sugar, they get very hyper with sugar. I hope my suggestion was useful. Good Luck!
