Daycare child lying

document everything. Keep a journal and when an incident happens write it down that way if something comes up in the future you have time, date and scenario all documented.

I don't think terminating him would be a ethical way to handle this. Ask the parent to make the child understand that lying is a sin. If he still continue to do that, ask the parent to take him to a child psychologist. That should solve this problem. He is after all a child and it is not fair on your part to terminate him from your daycare where kids get their first grooming. Make sure that the parent knows the scene. Have a word with her.

Seriously? As simple as that...ask the parents to MAKE the child understand that lying is a sin....oh and if the child continues to lie, take them to a psychologist!?!? I can't help but laugh at this ridiculous suggestion.

I think this is not a serious poster. Looks like a teenager having fun around here. I don't think psychologists won't be able to keep up if all parents with this issue follow this advice. Telling a child lying is a sin??? What about parents that don't believe in God or choose not to be involve in any kind o religious teaching. I guess they go directly to the psychologist :laugh:

The links on this post take you to Wee Watch. I worked for Wee Watch, they weren't the best, but they didn't look that off back then.

Ethical? How is suggesting a caregiver put herself at risk then, ethical? A caregiver who no longer feels she can provide care for a child and wishes to terminate should be free to do so. Of course we all try our best but sometimes there are children/parents/situations that are not worth our time and energy to deal with and termination is the only way. At the end of the day we don't OWE anything except our best efforts to these families and when those fail or should I say when our best efforts get "used up" if that makes sense then it is time to move on. Not everything is FAIR in life!
