Termination Circumstances?

[apples and bananas]

Yes, I absolutly agree. The parents don't need to know every time a toy is grabbed or feelings are hurt. I have rules in my house and the kids learn very quickly that they need to get on board. If I go to the parents with every little issue then i feel like I'm not doing my job.

If I have a child that is really acting out then I detail specifically the behaviour that I am not willing to deal with. And it's that simple... Jimmy is pushing children aggressively, if he doesn't stop then he will no longer be welcome here. I no longer consult with the parent to see what they do to stop the pushing at home and get on the same boat. Because obviously, what they're doing... isn't working! So, I discipline as I see fit and move on.

Yes, I have terminted because the family was just too emotionally draining. It was always something.. a late pick up... a text mid day saying "don't feel cows milk, I just read an article" Not sending the right clothes. asking about meals every single day. Commenting on a dirty knee... lol. It's was exhausting just hearing about it all. So, I marked them down for 3 lates and off they went. (I rarely terminate for lates unless there are other issues going on)
