Also, you need to stand your ground. If a parent said to me "we'll see" I would say, no, this is my policy, payments are now made weekly on Mondays and children can't be dropped off without payment on Monday. Then you don't accept into care until paid. You are in charge.
I've been at this for four years and am still figuring out what works for me and what doesn't. I think it's okay to change your mind. Just be honest with parents that you're learning and things may change with more experience and knowledge.
