Unattended Children Sign ;)

[PitterPatter]

I love this sign! I have too many parents that tend to leave their children roam around the property and even into the street at drop off and after pick up. So I thought about making this sign for my own property. Partially as a joke of course but perhaps it would actually help the parents to remember to keep a hold of their children, not that they would actually think I am giving those out. Does anyone have anything like this in a joking manner or serious?

No but I do have that problem with parents. Other parents arrive....and all the kids are in my yard playing. One day there were 6 kids. I feel it's a huge liability risk and I sent out an email immediately,

I've seen that sign in stores. :: I know its meant to be a funny but oh, don't you just want to do that sometimes??? I have more trouble with parents letting their other kids run through my entire house than outside. I am trying to find the right wording for my next newsletter for this problem. Don't think the espresso/kitten thing will work for me, LOL!

How about something like "Please be respectful of my home/daycare and do not allow your children and siblings to run through my home during drop off and pick up times."

I find it much easier to enter statements like that into the newsletter rather than tell them face to face because then they know I am pointing the finger and they tend to get defensive. But then I also have the problem where my newsletter is often ignored and not even read.

Good luck to you!

Do Nan's drop off and pick up at the door.

This THis THIS... it works like a charm.

I had an issue with one of my DCK age 3. As soon as parnets came he turned into a little devil. It got so bad that one day I got down on my knee right in front of him; mom was present and I said"

Since you are not able to behave and follow the rules when mom and dad come to get you, I am not going to allow mommy and daddy to come inside to pick you up any more. He started crying and I stood up and told mom, from now on, you will need to pick up at the door. I will make sure he is all ready to go. I can't allow for this to happen anymore.

it took 3 weeks before the parents and the kid finally got it. now it's just a really quick pick up inside that does not pass the foyer in my home
