    You've given me a thought. It would not be bad idea to plan in an appointment day, say once every 3 months or 6 months (depends on you) and plan all of your appointments that day....clients know way ahead of time (heck, it could even be in their contract). Hmmmmm
    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.

    Yup there are appointments that you just have to do 'annually' and if you plan them well that you can get em all out of the way ... I book my 'next years' appointments when I am at the current years one so which ever one I got 'first' on that day I than book all the others for as I go to them ~ works awesome ... I generally also book them around the stupid 'Etest and license renewal' things that are not open outside my work hours OR the lines are too nasty on a Saturday and I squeeze them in ... so my 'appointment day' is typically close to my birthday each year which sucks for this year because it fell during my VACATION which I do not usually take these weeks but this is what worked this year cause I wanted to be home for August because I have spaces opening up and I need time to 'secure' new clients
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

    I usually try for a weekend or evening appt.

    Otherwise ...I close for the day and give the parents one month notice whenever possible.

    It does suck to close and lose all the $$ for the day though so I try to make it on a day where I have the least amount of kids whenever possible
