I wind up holding at least 80% of all the children in my room by the end of the day. Since I only have him in my room an hour or so a day, yes, it SEEMS like I may hold him more than the other kids if you overlook the fact that he's barely even in the room with me an hour. If he wants to sit in my lap and play with the kids I'm sitting near, I don't see any problem with that. Once he's in the room more often and gets to know the other kids and our routine, I can guarantee he will not be so attached to me. The SAME issue happened with his sister. She was incredibly attached to me until she got the hang of things and then she was perfectly fine. And what is wrong with them trusting and relying on me? Why do people ALWAYS seem to make a huge deal of me holding and being "too nice" to THREE-YEAR-OLDS? It is NOT inappropriate to pick up a three-year-old when they're upset or need some cuddle time.

Naturally, every teacher has their favourites. I'm not going to lie and say I don't, I CERTAINLY do. One of them is moving into my room, but not if the morning teacher has anything to do with it. Apparently, ALL I do is hold him and coddle him and ignore all the other children so I shouldn't be allowed in a room with him.
