    This is why at home time ALL the kids come upstairs with me (my daycare is also in the lower level) and we sit and QUIETLY read books until the parents come. I am within 10 feet of every kid until they leave and I say good-bye to them with the door OPEN while they walk down my walk way. They do NOT pick my flowers. They do NOT stomp around my house. They get up from their book WHEN THEY ARE CALLED and go directly to the door, put on their things and leave like a civilized human being. That sort of behaviour would NOT be tolerated at my daycare.

    Sometimes you HAVE to stand up and be the bitch and just tell the parents it is NOT okay.

    I envy you this ability Judy; my husband says the same...that I need to just find a way it say it directly...not assume she is going to follow my lead with them (b/c clearly she doesn't). Working on it
    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.
