Does anyone expect dcp to have kids calm before they enter the house? I tell you, I am about to tell dcm of 2 yr old dcb to take him back outside and bring him in when he is calm and ready to begin his day...same story today as last night at pickup..he is throwing a huge tantrum and not wanting to come in. He hits and kicks her and if i dont physically take him from her(while hes screaming and hitting) then she'd never get ou of here.
Today I was holding a baby so I didn't take him from her at the door...which I've recently begun having her do. She couldn't get him in the house!! She had to bring him all the way into the living room and all the kids were upset by his temper tantrum. She said he was mad that she turned off the music in the car! I wrote her a letter about behavior expectations and advising that it would be helpful if she went over expectations before comi g to the door. I told her that we do art projects right after drop off and maybe she could remind him of this activity to entice him to be calm and ready for dc. Is this wrong? I mean shouldn't he be able to come into dc calmly even if we aren't doing something he enjoys? I may be setting myself up with that one...wwyd?
