Seems like everyone is on the same page. I have a problem with the parents that give "treats" when they pick up their child from daycare. Is it not a treat to see Mom or Dad? Is it not a treat that they had a wonderful fun filled day at the daycare and now they are going to their much loved home?? The treats are not fruit, vegetables, pretzels or anything healthy, but candy!! I often think that parents assume that their child is not happy here and this is the bribe for coming. (Even though many cry when they have to go home and leave me and their other friends.)
Or do parents feel guilty for having to send their little ones to daycare?
This has confused me for 15 years.
