You really have to own that time at pick up. Parents always want to know how their day was. I always make sure I give little eye contact, they are not my priority, the other 4 children running around in my yard are. They often get the hint and move along. If they need to speak with me and I'm unable to, I offer to call them after dinner and speak with them then, or make time at drop off the next morning.

Biting in a horrible thing, but it happens. You have to remember that YOU'RE not the one biting, your can't be held responsible for a 2 year olds behaviour! If the form of discipline at home is spanking no wonder the kids are aggressive.

Don't feel bad or guilty. All you can do is do your best with what you have.
