When Client/Provider relationships go wrong . . . .

[Momof4]

Well, first of all my sick policy states that if there is a fever the child must be fever-free for 24 hours before returning to daycare and I refuse to administer over the counter meds that bring down a fever which is simply a symptom of a greater problem. The child needs to be at home or taken to a doctor for a diagnosis, eg. ear infections. So that's your first problem.

Second, my termination clause states that abuse from a parent warrants immediate termination and if she swore at you that is abuse. We who have learned a lot of lessons call this RED FLAGS!!!!

I would not put up with this behaviour from a parent. The child is sick and needs the parent's attention. What if this child went into a seizure at your house due to the high fever? How do you deal with that? It does happen and the parent must be responsible for their child. We are here to do a fantastic job and give 100% every day but the parents are ultimately responsible for their children whenever they become sick, PERIOD!!!!!
