Yikes
I guess the key point to remember here is that opinions are like buttholes, everybody's got one.
For the record, if you read Judy's blog, you can see that she has opinions that are not neccessarily the most popular opinions, but they're hers and she doesn't apologize for them nor does she feel the need to defend them. Crystal, you don't need to defend your opinions and methods. None of us do. I do things the way that it feels right to do them. If what you're doing works for you, then that rocks! However, the OP was looking for different options. I don't think that anyone meant to to put you on the defensive.
Sometimes we all have a tendency to get defensive when we think that we are being judged by others. I can be really sensitive if I am criticized, whether it is legitimate or not. I've had to learn to have a thick skin because this is a job industry where there are many paths to take that lead to the same destination. We all have the same goal, but we just take different routes to get there.Comment

OK, what the heck is a sock puppet???Comment

I'm with those who say, different kids/groups of kids may need different approaches. What works with one child may not be so effective with another. And in the same, one provider may be able to easily do guidance one way another provider may be better suited to guide the children in another way, maybe closer to how she was raised. If we're all turning out kind, obedient, confident children I don't see the problem.
And if I was having the amount of issues the OP is having then you'd better believe I'd be listening to every single post on here looking for anything to help whether it's in the books as DAP or not! If I were you, OP, as another member already stated, I'd terminate the worst offenders and work with the rest. Once the group is back under control you can refill those slots. Oh and one book that I really like is "Kid Cooperation" by Elizabeth Pantley. I checked it out from the library, and only read the first few chapters, but it was enough inspiration and advice to rein my own 2 wild children back in.
Good luck, OP!

....a sock puppet is when a member of a forum has more than one screenname and pretends to be more than one person posting.

Really? Well, I would be careful making accusations you can't back up.
Perhaps Michael could reassure us that there is no one on this thread who is sharing TWO usernames with only one IP.
I would welcome that bit of research. Anyone else??
Michael? Could you put Crystals mind at ease for us?::

Since we are both the Alpha Dog I would say we need to take turns:
Chicken
Egg
Chicken
Egg
What comes first? I do not know.

I'll be chicken first. Since I am an Alpha dog that enables me to sit squash the egg to make sure it never becomes the chicken.
Hey, what can I say, I'm an animal!

Op.....did you get what you needed? I hope so, sounds like a nightmare. I hope you figure it out and get back some control.
If not, pop in and ask some more questions. Because otherwise nannyde and I can "talk to ourselves" post after post after post.

Uhm, excuse me? I NEVER accused anyone of being a sock puppet....Nanny jokingly said it, someone asked what a sockpuppet is and I answered them. LOL! Why don't you back off?Really? Well, I would be careful making accusations you can't back up.

Oops...
I asked about the "sock puppet" thing. I had no idea what that meant. Thanks for answering, now so many other forum comments make sense now that I know what that term means. I'm really not too bright when it comes to the "internet machine". I always have to have my daughter tell me what things mean! She had to teach me how to do the facebook thingie and she got really mad at me for posting on her wall and I had no idea what the heck she was talking about! I am so uncool. Sorry for any confusion about the sock puppet question, that was my bad!Comment

Now, being a daycare provider I took the "sock puppet" comment literally when nannyde spoke of it. You know...someone that controls the conversation of another - like you do when you are the sock puppet hand.
From Wikipedia:
A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of deception within an online community. In its earliest usage, a sockpuppet was a false identity through which a member of an Internet community speaks with or about himself or herself, pretending to be a different person,[1] like a ventriloquist manipulating a hand puppet.
So, anyway, I was clueless as to the internet terminology of "sock puppet". Never heard that one.
With that I WILL apologize for assuming Crystal was conveying a conspiracy theory of a dual poster.
See?? Even I can be humble when warranted. Surprise, surprise, eh?
