I have a 4 week trial period in my contract for new children during which time either parents or myself can terminate without notice if it is not working out. I have never had a child not adjust, but I have a 2 year old dcg who has been with me for more than 4 weeks now and still having a very hard time (crying, clinging to my leg all day long, etc). So I finally decided to extend the trial period by two weeks and see how it goes. I have never done this before, so I am not sure if the extra time will change anything or not and I am also not sure how the parents will take it (I emailed yesterday evening about it, but have had no repsonse so far). Does anyone have any experience with an extended trial period? Any advice?
