Some questions from a Newbie!

[Crayola kiddies]

Put a movie on for them ..... I don't allow tv in my daycare but my own school age kids watch tv or go outside during quiet time and that allows me to have some down time too. Or try doing some baking with them or get them to help prepare the afternoon snack. School goes back in 1 week so will be a non issue. If I was that parent I too would not want my 6 and 7 year old sleeping in the afternoon either ..... Quiet time yes ... Sleeping ? NO!

haha! Crayola kiddies how did you know?? I put a movie on this afternoon for the 6/ 7 year old. all was going well until she touched him and a fight broke out.
They are now in seperate rooms with books.
I really am ok with them not sleeping. But I don't think quiet time or space from each other is too much to ask!
My little ones sleep til 2 / 2:30

Well then she would have been removed since she was the instigator and he would have been allowed to continue with the movie and I would remind them tomorrow that they get the privelage of watching a movie so don't screw it up. Tomorrow they would be on different couches or on the floor away from one another. I would speak with the parent and let her know she needs to have a discussion with her kids about their behaviour or they will be napped because they can not follow the rules and get along
