I have only termed one family, but it was an immediate termination, so I didn't have to explain anything to the child. It was hard because the kids asked about dcg for a long long time...even occassionally now they will ask and it was over a year ago! I just tell them that she's going to a different daycare and if they ask why, I just say that her parents decided on it. I certainly wouldn't want the other kids thinking that if they do something wrong, they will be kicked out....because then they wouldn't feel secure and would probably end up acting out even more. I think less is more. If the dcb asks you, maybe you could tell him to ask his parents? Although parents seem like they won't be that helpful to the situation if they have already threatened him with not coming to your house. Good luck! Just keep explanations to a minimum!
