Terminating when not a good fit

[Crayola kiddies]

We all learn from every client we have ..... This is a valuable lesson ..... Never take on a child that you have not met!!! Have a chat with the parents letting them know the behaviors you are struggling with and even have a letter to give them outlining the undesirable behavior and the course of action that needs to be taken as well as a time frame in which you need to see improvement. If your time frame is not met then give notice

I agree with this advice! My rule is that parents have to be doing the work at home at the same pace as I'm doing the work at daycare to help children learn to behave properly. And by all means, never interview a family without the children present because then you know right away whether or not you have to cross them off your list because they will be making your life miserable.
