Bottom line is to create a child care setting that YOU enjoy. Even though we spend a lot of time trying to put ourselves in the parents place, most of our parents don't do that for us. They want what they want and will keep changing daycares until the find it. Sad thing is, they never will and the kids can suffer from being bumped too many times.

Glad to hear 2009 ended well with children you have in care. You know what that means a great beginning to 2010. Now that's something to be positive about; and don't forget about your accomplishments that got you this far.

I too have found that each time I have a challenging family, it makes me a little picker about who I let in my home. Then in turn I am little happier that I am pickier.

I have the tough task now of writing a termination letter. It's been long overdue and I have to muster up the courage to do it. I feel bad doing it now but the last 3 days have been really hard - I've waited for it to improve, but it hasn't. I need to make this change now so that 2010 is a better year than last! I just hope I will find some new kids to fit MY family's values and discipline style...

Amen!!!! I terminated my trouble maker at the end of the year too. Just tonight one of my daycare moms mentioned how happy her son was coming today and that she noticed a change in him. That right there told me I made the right decision terminating trouble maker. Day one and two have been heaven here. So far so good.

I share completely in these sentiments. I always care for my families giving them all of me and often putting them before my family and myself. I had a little girl leave at the end of the year for "big girl school". I can't stress enough how much better and more smoothely things are running around here.

Judy,
The New year is great isnt it? I terminated 2 daycare children at the end of the year and ended up with 1 great new daycare girl and great parents alike.
How great it is to start a new year. If only it would last!
