Ok! I REALLY need some advice

[Lou]

2 yrs old- Play pen! Kids rest in play pens here until they are 3, then move to cots.

4 yrs - a written warning to the parents that if behaviour does not improve by next Wednesday, a termination notice will be issued. I know that seems harsh but at 4 yrs old he is old enough to listen and follow direction, and it isn't worth the stress! If you are looking for more positive approaces to guidance some "lingo" I use are: "Feet on the floor" "Couches are for sitting on" "Walking feet please!" "Gentle hands" "Quiet voice please- can you show me what a quiet voice sounds like?" "Toys are for playing with, not throwing" "You are showing me that these toys need to be put away because you are throwing them, instead of playing with them like a big boy"

5yrs- Either remove her entirely from the room and put on a movie, OR tell Mom that you use the Day Nurseries Act guidelines which regulates that children in care need to rest for 1 hour before they are permitted to get up. If she falls asleep, it means she's tired and needs rest. Also remind Mom that this is your lunch hour as well to recharge your batteries, clean and prepare for the afternoon.
