If you need help with terming, not sure what to offer but just give a nice letter saying unfortunately you're not able to meet their childcare needs any longer. It ****s but if you can't make it work, you can't make it work.
If you don't mind me asking, how long have you had him? How old is he? Is there a reason for the screaming? Teething? Illness? -
LIke pp said....write a simple letter stating you can no longer proivde care for DXK..
however, have you tried talking to the mom about this?? I would try to look for a resolution first before just terming. If you just term, the family may become very angry and not very understanding as of why.
I would talk to the DCF about this and let them know that it is an issue and how you guys can work on it together. IF after trying to work together you see no progress, let the family know that you will need to term. I am sure that if they are aware of the issue then they will be more understanding and willing to help if they know that if they don't, then you will have to term.Comment

Well it sounds like you have already made up your mind, so just let the family know that you will no longer be able to provide care for their child starting on ___________
Honestly, I do think that if you don't really address the issue with the family that they are going to become very angry. I would at least give them the opportunity to help fix the matter before just getting rid of them.
but at the end of the day this is your company and it's up to you how you will deal with thingsComment

A family member came to my child care program at 6 weeks. I really wanted to keep this child because I had kept her mother when I was a high school student. The child screamed non-stop. I did consult with the parents many times even calling them at work during the day because I did not know what to do. Finally, nine months later, a family child care friend/provider came out to dc and saw my frustration. She assured me I had to do what was best for myself and the child. I did not like my job anymore...hated to see this kid pull up in the driveway, etc. Anyway, I terminated her that day! While it has created some family issues, I love my daycare again. Bottom line....you are not a failure as I felt I was during this ordeal. There are children we cannot provide care for. This child is now in second grade and thriving, but needed one-on-one care at the time. Hope this helps!
