Attachment Parentinng

[Suzie_Homemaker]

I have take AP children but I am clear to parent what I can and cannot do and I send out sheet for "preparing child for daycare" to all new client with expectations.

Each time AP parent make request, I remind that this group care and ask them how I do that for all children. From get go I always explain that fee is same for all and level of service same for all. No one get extra for one child constant at expense of my time to other children as not fair to other parent. This group care. My time has been spend with all children, not just one. If they not able to understand that, and if they want determine specifics of child's day, they need nanny, not group care situation.

When asked to wear child, I ask direct - How will I wear 6 children at scheduled nap time, for all to sleep? How will affect my body long term if I begin doing? Their child might weight 25-30lb but that lot weight when every child being worn.

When asked to cosleep or lay with child until settle, I ask direct - Who will supervise older children if I do that? When your child is older and maybe not napping, would you be happy if I lay down with smaller child and leave yours unattended?

When asked to react to child immediate cry, I ask direct - Do you mean if all children crying, your is to have priority over the other at all times? How would you feel if your child was always left to cry while one particular child always seen first?

When asked to allow Mom pop in for any reason and return work, I ask direct - Are you okay with 6 set parent coming in and out as they wish all day? How will any scheduled happen? How will I react to your child crying if always answer door? How will your child feeling when the other 10 parent been cuddling their child and play and your not see their Mommy yet? How will I lay down with your child napping if doorbell constant ringing? When will we get to go walk or paint or anything with average of 1 visitor every hour? Do I get police check for all parent constant in my home interacting with children not theirs?

Once parent stop seeing thing from just their own point view, they can normally see how distuptive request is. If they can't, then they not come here.
