Daily Reports

A 2 year old pushing is not MINOR? All 2 year olds go through a phase or there would be no such thing as a time out......I think those things are minor unless it happening often and disrupting our entire day then maybe the child has behaviour issues. I give my kids time outs for pushing hitting ect and the parent know this but I dont tell them everyday Im not looking for brownie point either just like to be as positive as possible cause the GOOD time defiantly out way the bad so I write down those things more then the others thats all.

uuhh ....there must have been a comment deleted ....

Point taken mommylove, for me I suppose I just believe in telling the parents all behaviour corrections. Even if there was just one time out in the day.

As a parent that used to have my child in daycare getting a true full account of there day was more important to me.

I do know where your coming from though as I have 4 two year olds in my care.

Ya i get that for sure I didnt think of it that way, your point is well received :)

Thanks skysue :)

I deal with things that happen during the day with the children as a part of my job. Stuff happens. If I have to put a child into a timeout that's my business and I'm teaching the children how to socialize in their peer group setting, how to share or take turns. I only tell the parents if we have a big issue and I've had to put a child into timeout several times during the day for one particular problem.

I don't have communication books or any paperwork. I give the parents a verbal update at the end of the day. But I do have a daily logbook for my own reference, making notes for myself about the food the children like or don't like, diaper changes/successful potty times with bowel movements and nap times. This information is all for me but anytime a parent asks me a question I have the answer to the most important info regarding their children.

I do tell parents daily if their child behaved in a way that warranted a time-out because I don't want it to come as shock later if it comes to the point of termination. I need to make sure I have made the parents aware of the problems as they occur. I guess it depends on how minor the behaviour is, but for me a time-out is only for bigger things like violence, so if they have had a time-out it means it was major in my books. For me, pushing, hitting, etc are not minor, though I do understand that kids will try these things out. If it becomes a daily thing then I communicate this by email to parents so I have a written record of trying to communicate issues with the parent.
