Child Hurt With DCM Was Here

[lovemykidstoo]

She sounds a bit odd. What is her intention. BECAUSE she asked for it, I would be definately filling one out and writing exactly what she was doing and also say that she was technically in the custody and supervision of her mother and not you. Make sure that mom signs it and you keep the original.

How did the dcg do that anyway? Was she screwing around?

[crazydaycarelady]

Really? Pillows and ice packs? That does seem a tad over the top!

[Blackcat31]

HOW exactly did she fall? Was she standing on the chair?

This one is on mom.

I would absolutely refuse to fill anything out.

I would take Nan's advice and let mom fill out her own incident report and I would also require mom to state that she choose NOT to bring child to see a doctor.

I hadn't thought of that..... And no custody issues with her parents. Her Mother is just funny like that. She also brought a pillow for DCG to sit on today and asked me to let her sit on an ice-pack a few times today. If she is so concerned I feel she should have taken DCG to the doctor. Lol

I would want to say "I'm sorry but she cannot be here if she cannot participate in daily activities...."

The DCG was standing next to her Mom already in her coat & hat. Mom was rushing her out the door- she had a "bad" day at work and was in a hurry to get home. My time-out chair is about a foot away from the front door. I had turned away to deal with 4 yr old DCB so I did not see exactly what happened, I just heard her hit the chair & start crying. DCM comforted her and left with DCG still crying.

Wow, she's being dramatic. I would tell her if she thinks she is that injured to take her to the doctors and bring a note back from the doctor saying she is fine and can participate normally.

Really ice pack and pillow.............UGH it sounds like my parents have taken over your town.....I can't stand it when people over react.


I would have done the same and said I am really sorry, but if your child needs all of that extra special attention to make it through her day today, I am going to have to send her home. I need to be able to meet all of the kids needs and can't let her needs take away from the rest of the group....


How is this mom on a normal bases?

How is this mom on a normal bases?

Oh normally she is fine....although a hypochondriac herself....

[daycare]

Oh normally she is fine....although a hypochondriac herself....

uuuggggghh.....and let me guess this is her first born?

I have a DCM that took her daughter to the ER because her hang nail was bleeding......LOL when the DCM told me I accidentally let out a little bit of laughter......Oooppppssssss..

[daycarediva]

I am seriously cracking up over ice pack and pillow for a fall on her tush. Is it bruised? If Mom persists *I* would insist on a visit to the pediatrician to make sure that her hiney is ok.

Is dcg complaining at all?

"I'm sorry, those incident reports are so parents have a written explanation of how, when and where an accident or incident occurred. Since you were here and saw with your own eyes how, when and where it occurred, the report is unnecessary"

[Heidi]

I would check your regs. In WI, if any incident occures on your property, it has to be logged. As the other's stated, though, make sure to document fully that she was in mom's presence.

Oh, and "medical attention" is required (even if the doctor laughs hysterically), then we have to fill out an INCIDENT REPORT, which must be sent to licensing. Otherwise, we could be cited for........"failure to report the death or injury of a child". Nice lumping of concepts there, eh? Same reason bills never move through Congress.... Our goverment likes to lump things together alot for ahem, "efficiency". ::::::::::::

[wdmmom]

This mom needs to get a hobby. It's called "paying attention to her kid at drop offs and pick ups!"

[LoraJenkins]

uuuggggghh.....and let me guess this is her first born?..

No....this is her second. Her first born is 16 years old. I have DCPs that have their first baby in my care right now and they are more laid back about boo boos that this DCM is...
