I am willing to work with almost any challenge a child might present over their time with me ~ as long as the CLIENT is working with me 110% towards the same goal and objective .... I took on an older child my first year in 'home childcare' who had been terminated from other programs ~ but there was no 'holding back' with either of us everything was laid on the table about the challenges that kid had, my thoughts on what the root problem was based on initial observation and what needed to occur both in my program and at home for that child to thrive and be able to 'stay on here'. Had that child until 6.6 years old and she was in school full time ... parents were AWESOME about stepping up and 'changing' practices that had led and encourage the behavior to thrive at home and therefore other programs ... aka diet, sleeping, consistent realistic expectations and consequences.

Sorry but if they were that indifferent at the beginning of the relationship and there was this much trouble already and based on the age of the child ....I am not one to 'quickly' terminate someone but what you've shared here would be grounds for me to make that 'adjustment' to quick band-aid approach of 'sorry but after a trial period of this month upon reflection of X's needs and the programs needs I am afraid we are not going to be a match for permanent care arrangement therefore effective X care will terminate' ... you decide if you want to give them notice or if you are just done with being hit in your own home!
