Start answering questions with questions.

Parent: "What do I owe you this week?"
Provider: "What do you owe me every week? or "Were you planning on paying me more than usual? That's be a nice gift! "

Parent: "Why do I owe you for holidays?"
Provider: "Do you get paid holidays at your job?" or "Did you read the contract when you enrolled?"

I too was nervous about chatting about money but I find that the more you do it the easier it is!! I always send an e-mail first and then when they come to the door ask "did you get my e-mail regarding payment"? It's a good ice breaker to bring the convo up. I also draft e-mails with dates and amounts and ask for 3 months advance post dates cheques which helps a lot!

this is so true....YOu cant get good at something if you don't do it.
