I have two daycare children that are turning my home daycare into a live circus. One I could handle but two is too much.
DDC1 has been with me for 3 months and he is hyperactive. Ive tried using behavior modification techniques to help him calm himself down but over time he has seemed to get worse. Now he is football tackling the other children urging play time and I usually catch him before he brings someone down. Last week he successfully jumped on another kids back and pulled him to the ground while I was washing my hands to get ready for our next activity. No more than a few seconds after leaving the room. I'm constantly correcting his behavior before he gets out of hand, yet he doesn't have enough focus to follow directions. When he gets too hyper I have him take a break to calm himself down.
DDC2 was referred by DDC1's parent but he is a different kind of rambunctious. He is also hyperactive and when he is frustrated he cries uncontrollably. The problem is he is 4 and doesn't know why he's crying. I try to help solve what's making him uneasy but he usually finds 3-4 things that share no relationship. He disturbed the class when I give lessons and I've adopted classroom management skills that help a little. Yet, his attention span is short and I have to remove him from the other kids to keep them calm. When he is hyper in the playroom he runs around in circles (literally). It reminds me of a dog chasing his tail.
Today both of the kids were absent and my daycare ran normally. The childrens followed directions the first time they were given. There were no disturbances during lunch and no hitting in the playroom at all. It's been a great day and peaceful like it should be with the right children.
I want to let them go for the same of the other children on care but don't know how to tell the parents that they are causing both me and the children in care stress and I've done everything I could do to help them.
Would you terminate? Or is this just apart of the joys taking charge of children. Please note, I do have a policy for children physically abuse other children in care so one has been notified that the next event will be a termination
