Daycarewhisperer! Thank you so much for this article. I had so many aha moments reading it! Here I thought I knew alot about child behavior and now I feel like a novice. I am so tempted to pass your article to my d/c parents however, I think they would be offended at having to face this truth in their lack of parenting. I certainly see where I can improve as a provider and am happy for this info so I can do so.
