She is placed at the table every single time. She refuses to eat so I tell her she has to stay there until everyone is done eating. She sits there and pouts and cries, and STILL gets off the seat to come ask me random questions. Everytime she gets off the chair, I lead her back to the table and make her sit down. Maybe it time to talk to her mom about this. I've always found that once I've spoken to mom, I get a better understanding about her behaviour and usually come up with a solution to work with here and to suggest to mom. Her mom has been wonderful with every other suggestion I've made. The thing is that this little girl has been here since the end of March and she STILL has not learned that what I say is what goes. At least, she stays in her sleep area....even if she cries most of the time in there. ugh.
I am making a plan to tell the new dc parents that their children must be dropped off by 12pm. I am going to see what the hours are like this week and will give them a notice by the end of the week. Right now, the income I gain from them makes no impact whatsoever. I am feeding them snack even if they are only here for 2hrs. Is there any way that I can write that children in my care for 3hrs get a snack. Children in my care for at least 5hrs get lunch. What is fair? lol
