Bad start to the day :(

[Inspired by Reggio]

Agreed Mamma_Mia ... when my stepson was young and I was just opening up he was here on PD, March Break and summer when not in school and so if he he came down into the program he had to follow all the rules of the daycare while I was working and he would help in the program and would have to have 'quiet time' just like the other daycare children even though he was 10 at the time cause that was FAIR and made my life easier cause I did not want to deal with any daycare kids frustrated that he was up and they had to have a nap however once everyone was a sleep and after I had gotten 'my break' we use to use that little bit of time between when the others would wake up to play a card game or connect just the two of us ... that is one of the PERKS of working from home taking advantage of those times when you can do something special with your own kids without it impacting on your work so to speak.

The daycare kids also learned that there were times of the day when he needed 'space' and he would go up out of the program and be alone in his room play video games or what not and that was because this was his home and he was 'old enough' to be on his own ... daycare children have that same privilege but since they do not have a 'room' here if they want space and to be alone they go to the quiet area within the program or depending on their age and trust they have earned they can ask for their cot to come out upstairs and go rest truly 'alone' and i put the monitor on for them and when they are ready they come back to the program ... so it is not like my stepson truly got 'special treatment' from any of my clients perspectives.
