Help Me.
I don't know what to do with Tayden. Church was a little scary again today. I am sure it wouldn't have been so bad if Jared had been there with me, but lets just say I ended up teaching my class with both Kai and Tayden in there. Tayden will not go to his class. AT. ALL. I have tried bringing food during sacrament to make sure he isn't hungry or anything when it's time for class and he just doesn't want to go. I have tried bribery and threatening him and he just doesn't care. Does anyone have any suggestions.? I am thinking maybe if I pack treats that he can take to his class and share with his class then maybe he will wanna go? I dont know, but I am disappointed by how he is behaving. It is really frustrating to me. I ended up leaving church a half hour early cause it just was scary with a tired baby and naughty three year old. I feel like a really bad teacher...I just left my class with someone else to sit with them during sharing time. I didn't really know what else to do....

Does Tayden go to class better when Jared takes him?? My youngest FREAKS out when I try to drop him off in nursery and I end up sitting in there for 30 min or more just to get him to calm down enough for someone else to take him. Turns out Adam can take him and he goes in on his own. I was going to church by myself for about 6 months with 3 kids and I had to have someone else in the ward take him to nursery and he'd so okay. A lady would come and just take him from me and take him to class, no prep, no goodbye, no "mommy will see you later" and he was okay. So, I guess what I'm saying, is if you can have someone else try and take him but not make a big production out of it.
If that doesn't work...then I'm out of ideas!! Sorry you had such a hard time today in church! I REALLY feel your pain!
I had a friend who would have her husband or another guy that her child knew sit with him in class and make him be there. if he was freaking out, he had to stay on the his lap until he calmed down. If he was being calm, he could sit in his own chair. Its rough, but if options aren't working, he might need to know NOT going is not an option. You could also come up with another alternative for him such as "you can go sit in your class or you can be in this empty classroom with (whoever isn't teaching at the moment) and sit in the corner. Treats for the class might come in really handy then.
Good luck!
I'm with Shelly and Kacey on having someone else take him to the classroom. It works the same with us. Also you are one BRAVE woman to take them both to your class. I would have told the primary president that while my husband is gone that I would need a sub. :) Just sayin'.....you're a saint!
I guess I'm lucky, neither of my girls have cried once being dropped off for class/nursery. Maybe they just like to get away from me!! My Sid is the Primary president in her ward and this is a big problem. She finally just asked to parents to quit coming/taking the cryers b/c it was making it worse. Now they just have the presidency deal with it. Eventually they'll stop if they don't get their way. Maybe ask how they feel about dealing with it within his class for a week or two and see if he changes his tune??
