Getting attached to Daycare Kids

[ladyjbug]

I DO get very attached, but I know that is not for everyone and that is fine. Personally, I find it really helps to be bonded with the kids and there are still a few that I miss very much from when we moved on my mat leave. Maybe because my sons are still young and part of the daycare, but the kids that are coming are their friends and I do take their feelings into consideration as they also have to spend the day with the kid. There have only been two families that I haven`t really bonded with the children, and both of those care relationships ended pretty quickly due to some other factors (parents not respecting policies, behavior issues, etc). When those issues become apparent, then it becomes stressful to see the family arriving at the door then it affects the ability to bond with the kids the way I would like as I can see an end date and don`t want to get hurt. Currently, every family in care is just fantastic and I really look forward to my days with this great group of kids. If anyone had to leave, I would understand, but I would miss all of these kids quite a bit.
