Something almost like the PP but I'm having a hard time at P.U's...

I mean I love that the kiddies don't want to go home but as soon as I open the door and one dck sees mom or dad she starts whining, grunting, running away, climbing the couch (not allowed), refusing to put on boots etc. swatting at the parent and totally acting like a 360 from the full day with me!

I admit although I love to play with them and I get into it and I do give cuddles but I'm firm...be it the european in me but when I say no - I speak once, so you better listen. One time she tried swatting at me and my facial expression must have scared her enough because she said sorry right away!

Some other providers said to give them a heads up 5min proir that parent is almost here and remind them to be well behaved. Another said if it gets very bad she gets dck fully dressed and sits them on the stairs until parents arrive. They hate that...so things got better as the days got on.....I'm not sure.

Any tips?
