    My rule from the interview onward is that the parents work WITH me or it won't work. I believe that consistency at home and at daycare is the only thing that works and we must have similar rules for the child so they learn good behaviour. If I scare people away at the interview because I tell them this, well, good, I don't want them here and I don't want out of control children in the daycare. I want happy, well-behaved, good mannered children at my daycare. That way I'm always happy and the children are alway having fun and laughing.

    If you have one child in the daycare who brings everybody else down and the parents have no intention of helping their child learn to be a really good human being for the rest of their life, forget it. You have to terminate this family or make them understand that they must help for their child's sake, not just for you.

    Yep, I agree. I terminate screamers whose parents are not on board with fixing things. Besides, TWO MONTHS is far too long to have to listen to a kid scream. It's unfair to you and the other kids you have a duty to provide a calm environment to. I would terminate that kid. NOT worth your sanity.
