    I'm sorry! I wouldn't ask for a holding fee either, if someone was already in that spot. I misunderstood. I hope none of you thought that I would do something like that.

    I would however get a signed contract, and two weeks' non refundable deposit.

    No worries - based on previous posts on the topic you'd responded too I assumed you'd read the scenario quickly and missed the part about the child still being in the spot until September with your initial response about holding fees
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
