Terming an infant

[Lee-Bee]

Wait...your 11month old DCK moves BBQ's and tables? Hahahaha, so sorry I am picturing a green little child ripping his clothes off (Hulk).

I think you are in a position where terming is understandable. The child needs more attention than you can give in a group setting. It is not fair to the child to be restrained all day and at 11months they are just too young to really understand most consequences or reasoning for moving BBQ's around the deck.

Write up a letter, note the impacts on you and your program (less care for other children etc) and the impact on their child (needing to spend too much time in the highchair so you can tend to other without furniture being moved and note the safety concern (furniture being pulled down etc). Be positive noting the child's qualities but make it clear you just can't manage it in a busy group setting.

I will note though...the next child might end up being the other extreme, not moving furniture but not sleeping and crying all day. So keep that in mind....not sure which is better!
