I can speak to this experience as I just terminated a little boy who had so many anti-social habits, no idea about the other children's space, non listening which was frustrating to all and so much more. They were all grey areas but I finally decided that after a year and a half of misery for all the other children and for me that we deserve to be happy.

I truly hope the little boy is happier in a new place and maybe the next caregiver won't have a problem with him at all because she won't have the difficult history I had with him. Keep this in your mind when you terminate the child who is making everybody miserable at your daycare. Don't you want to be happy? Don't you want all the other children in your daycare to be happy? If you have tried everything you can to make the child happy and it hasn't worked then maybe the next caregiver will have another method and maybe the child will be happy there. Don't feel guilty. Terminating is hell but after it's done it is such a relief.
