Screaming

[PattyCake]

I've got two that do the exact same thing that your dcg is doing. It's been happening for 5 weeks not and isn't getting better. Time outs away from the group don't work, ignoring doesn't work, comforting doesn't work either....I've decided to replace them and have an interview this evening. I'm not terminating solely because of the screaming, it's also because mom doesn't seem to be on the same page as me with regards to treating this behavior ...it took her three weeks to finally realize that she needs to do something more about this....at pick ups she doesn't even bother to ask how they were that day and its always me that has to address the screaming with her. It's totally disruptive to the entire day care, and dcm knows that, so no cooperation = termination.

This is key. When parents are NOT on board to fixing problems like this then, yes, it is time for them to go. There is no sense us putting in all that work and listening to all that screaming when the parents won't help the situation. It will NEVER get better when you have parents who don't see it as a problem.
