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.- Flag

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...- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.- Flag

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.

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

I termed a child like that 2 weeks ago.
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!!
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- Flag
