Kids Running From Their Parents

[Unregistered]

While i agree with spanking my own kids even though i have rarely ever had to do it i do think that there are times and some kids that only respond to that form of disipline (along with kids that do not respond to that as well) and believe me i have a little dcg in my care that although she is a handfull for me at times i dont have near the amount of trouble iv seen and heard her giving her parents and many times i have wished i could just tell dcm to give her a good spanking,(i do think this is the only way this dcg will get it as nothing else has worked,for the dcp anyway) this dcg is old enough to know better but acts horribly! And to be honest there have been many times iv thought she needed a spanking but there is nooooooooooooooooo way i would EVER spank a daycare child, not even with the parents permission and yes i have had some tell me to do just that. The child running away is the parents problem but for me until they are off my property i am responsible for them, i have it in my policies that 5 minute drop off and pick ups and no PLAYING with my toys or on my property after pick ups.

A couple of my dck have acted out when parents come too, usually as the parent is talking they'll walk back out into the daycare room and start doing ALL the things they arent' suppose to then I have all the kids arguing and being loud, this one particular boy I always have issues with and he is now 5, he is great during the day but as soon as parents come he's different. For instance yesterday he kept pushing the key pad on my front door, I told him to stop doing that it wasn't to play with, he acted like I didn't even say anything and kept doing, I took his hands and removed them from the pad and said I asked you to stop playing with the door, it's not a toy, he abruptly put his hands back up there, all his mom said was, stop, she asked you to stop, but not in a tone like she meant it, just a normal like she didn't know why I had a problem with it, I finally said you need to stop and I turned him towards outside and said have a good evening, well mom forgot her money so when she came back up he ran up there and started pushing them AGAIN, I was so pissed, she said nothing. This child does this all the time, he listens for me during the day and I never have issues with him ever, he is probablly one of the best dck I've ever had, but he does this kind of stuff when his parents come. I literally daily tell him your parent comes you slide your shoes on (he only wears crocs) and you don't ask to color you don't go back out in the daycare room ect, he doesn't do those things but eventually like yesterday he finds something else that I haven't mentioned. So he gets a time out when he gets here today first thing for not obeying me, he knows this and mentioned last night when he was leaving. His parents can't barely get him in the car cuz he's running around, takes mom at least 5 min to get him out of the car in the mornings, they let him run the house. It makes me so mad.

I'm starting to have issues with my own five year old now (not about running in the street but other things) and it seems that nothing that I've tried so far has worked. I too have tried the spanking but that didn't make a difference. If it doesn't change the behavior, it isn't working and it's time to try something else.

My next step is to take EVERYTHING away . No toys, no tv, no games. Only DC toys and activities. We'll see what happens.

I had a problem with mainly 2 of my dcb getting out of control, whenever I had a parent arrive and not their parent just anyone, so what I did was any time I had to go to the door when a child arrived or left when I saw the parent pull into the driveway I would tell each of the to go sit down quietly until I was done, I had books on hand to give them while I was "occupied" it really worked, I made them do this for a week and then now if it starts I'll warn them that if they do it again then every time a parent comes they'll need to go sit down quietly until I'm done, one of the times I had to bring the child into the adjacent room that I was talking with the parent and have them sit there until I was done. But it worked.
