Not what you want to hear at drop-off

What is interesting about the comments here is that the mom didn't have to tell the provider about the child. It was very nice of her to divulge the information so the provider could take the necessary steps. With those that are saying they would turn the child away it then comes down to a is it any wonder parents don't tell you these things in the morning such as how the child's night was, if they were given tylenol or dimetapp before coming. I get the rationale for wanting to just send the kid back home and yes the 24 hour policy is there but as I said if you want parents to be honest with you then you have to sometimes give the child the benefit of the doubt and respect their honesty.
