Daily Reports

[sunnydays]

I do tell parents daily if their child behaved in a way that warranted a time-out because I don't want it to come as shock later if it comes to the point of termination. I need to make sure I have made the parents aware of the problems as they occur. I guess it depends on how minor the behaviour is, but for me a time-out is only for bigger things like violence, so if they have had a time-out it means it was major in my books. For me, pushing, hitting, etc are not minor, though I do understand that kids will try these things out. If it becomes a daily thing then I communicate this by email to parents so I have a written record of trying to communicate issues with the parent.

Dido! That's exactly my mind doing set!
