See the thing is that even my DayCare kids who came to me as obnoxious children & are now perfect angels in my home will still often try to pull some kind of nonsense that they know well better then to do , WILL try to pull it the second their parent walks in my door because they are Testing their parent & I wait to see the parents reaction & IF their is no reaction, then I react so If a parent doesn't like me reacting then they can feel free to correct their child. You would be shocked how many of the parents of those once obnoxious children just stand there & ignore their child standing in my house rite in front of them, hitting, kicking, spitting etc.. someone elses child not to mention jumping on my furniture, kicking my glass storm door, hitting my TV screen with a truck, trying to pull my curtains off the wall, pulling a childs hair & still they just ignore it. Would you allow your child ever to act like that in someones home or in public ? I also think it depends on what the child is doing & I believe that any spanking is the parents job.
I'm betting your answer is no. |
I am also a child care provider and you hit it spot on. It sounded like you were talking about my home.
. It amazes me how much the child's tests the parents as soon as they walk through my door. It is like Jekyll and Hyde. You'd be surprised how many times the child will kick and scream because they don't want to leave me. I have 2 kids(siblings) that do this everyday. I have to talk to them and remind them that they will come back tomorrow. Sometimes the parents just have to carry them off kicking and screaming.
