      Also the child was in my home daycare for 3 whole weeks.

      I had told his mom after 2 weeks we should give it a few more weeks to see if we could work out the kinks.

      But after the third week I was done..things were only escalating into other problems.

        Absolutely!! I thought you were already on there...

        OP, for the potty problems, is it possible he just has a bit of anxiety IBS? I see that from time to time with my own kids during finals...

          but how do you know during the interview...please teach me this..

          Reason I ask is becuase most children act completley different with me than they do with thier parents..

          In fact I had a DCB that came for an interview and he just about knocked all of my books down off my shelf. I could clearly see that the parents don't parent.

          He was one of my best DCK I had. The parents were great too as long as they werent with the child.......so sad they left for kinder..... I wish I could have cloned that whole family...

            I think every provider will have a different answer.

            I, personally, know based on the PARENTS:

            *Behavior - Do they treat Me, my home, belongings and family with respect?

            *Philosophies - Are they planning on "Attachment Parenting" while expecting me to "Group Care" 50 hours a week?

            *Goals - Do they have the same goals/values for their children that I do? Their child will be alone with me about 2500 hours a year, after all.

            *Attitudes - Facial expressions/body language to standard Group Care Procedures. Nothing tells me as much about their expectations of me faster than telling them exactly how I do CIO.

            *Cohesiveness as a couple.

            Most CHILD issues I can work with. My only child "Instant Ejector Seat" issue is Non-Provoked, Non-Age Appropriate, Violence.

              Hi Cat,

              Can I view your set up. We are moving so it would be nice to seed what I can try to achieve.

                I was hating life at that time, just like you constant redirecting. The child needed more attention than my infants!!

                If I had the room I would have kept him in a seperate area just like Nanny says too.

                I dont regret it one bit.....but now Im scared all toddlers are like that!!
                I think it's hard to find one that's not. Sadly....

                We need to recognize that little kids don't really need a ton of space and that having their own area and gradually introducing them into healthy good play takes TIME. Start small and be successful... then a little bigger... a little more. If you have a hard time then restart.

                rinse and repeat
