Transition process

[mickyc]

For myself I interview outside of work hours just so that I can give the family my full attention. I also do not allow parents to stay when dropping off either. I feel like it confuses the child who doesn't understand why Mommy can stay sometimes and then why she can't others. I find the sooner the child can start to rely on me to be the place of comfort in my home the sooner they transition. I am hopefully going to be filling a spot soon. The mom asked if she could stay and I told her no and my reason. I did say that if she felt more comfortable bringing him for half days for the first week (full-time pay) that I was OK with that. It is going to be hard on everyone for the first while and we all know that. I did tell mom that quick drop off's are best. So we'll see how things go (if they do decide to bring their child here). I told mom that I could send her photos and texts during the day to let her know how things are going. She seemed to understand where I was coming from.
