My son has been attending the same wonderful home day care since he was 12 weeks old. In the last month, he has begun fighting us every morning about getting dressed and leaving the house to go to school. The day care environment is friendly and loving, and once he's there, he's fine. All smiles, happy, cheerful, and immediately begins playing with his friends. The mornings usually begin nicely, but within a few minutes, he begins whining about not going to school which within about 5 minutes escalates into a full-scale screaming bout about not wanting to get dressed. This ritual has me and my husband almost at our wits' end, and some days is making us late for work, which is unacceptable. Some of the children that he used to be close to have moved away and there are a few new kids, including his new brother, who is now almost 6 months old. He loves his brother, all hugs and kisses - never mean to him, so I don't think this is the problem. Any advice on how to counter this behavior?
