All of my daycare parents have been more than willing to communicate and listen to my experiences with kids and even implement some of the things I have suggested. It's always nice when a daycare parent comes to you for advice about their child--it means they trust you and value your knowledge/experience. Some parents think that because my own child is older (school-age) and wonderful (LOL!) that I must know what I'm doing! But yes, I know people in other social circles like that--first time parents who think they know everything--not fun!
