Yes Playfelt. I do realize that these are people like you and me. As I said the over cautious and over reactive concerns from parents should be addressed. When you speak to the provider and get to know them most fears go away. It does take some more time to totally trust.
Again, I think the tone of the providers here has been a bit mockery and thats what I am not agreeing with.
Most providers want to be treated as professionals and not as the friendly next door neighbour.
If the parents ask anything, they want to ask the parent something. I think this should be a conversation- a friendly conversation. It seems to me that the way things are addressed - the fault is always with the parent. While we rectify our mistakes and make an effort it would be great if we feel welcome here. It would be good to see day care providers listen to our views and explain instead of just defending themselves.
If the parent is ignorant, this forum will help them understand the reality.
From what I read from that parents post, he had been through something pretty bad to even come up with such an excessive list.
While you recognize that it is excessive there is no need to mock.
