Hello there: I am new to the forum but not new to the daycare business. I have been providing child care for over 20 years! Right now I have a group of very energetic boys (and one girl). Two of the boys are bothers and fairly new to my licensed family daycare home (I'm in BC) and they are sooooo loud in everything we do. I'm having an especially difficult time with them at the table for snacks and meals. Their table manners are horrid and since they've been coming, the others in my care have adopted their behaviour as well. No matter what I say they continue to try to grab and the food, never say please or thank you, pretend to burp every time they take a sip of water, call each other names....the list goes on. My husband also works from home and whenever he is in the kitchen area to make himself a snack, they all call him by his first name and try to find ways to make fun of it. I've told them now that they must call him Mr. *** instead of his first name. Other providers have suggested I segregate the more troublesome of the group and have them eat at different times. Sorry, but that is way too much of a hassle. Help! Any suggestions?
