How does this sound for a probation letter? I have been wavering on terming or trying this. DCB is huge ball of energy. All of the kids feed off of him. He cannot sit still at all ever (except at nap when he is sleeping). He is always moving some part of his body. When I tell him if you continue _____ then I will need to put it back on the shelf. Which happens a lot and then he throws a tantrum and when I remove him to our "quiet" space to calm down which is next to my stairs he will climb them and jump off. If I put him on the floor by the wall - he will start fight kicking things like the garbage, etc. I can't sit him at the table because he will keep falling off his chair on purpose. I feel I have no where to put him to take a "break". I also feel like I'm constantly talking to him - please stop kicking ____ under the table, Hitting _____ with blocks, Throwing _____. I made a spot for him to do his fight kicking so others don't get hurt but he refuses to go there so I'm constantly telling him to do that and he will argue he doesn't want to. I feel like I'm reminding him so many times a day or moving him once he starts wrecking kids "creations" from his kicking, etc. I'm tired just typing this. :

Anyways...how does below sound. He is 3y old BTW.
Dear __________,
Due to continuation of DCB’s continuous disruption and behavior, as of Friday, March 14th, your contract with ******** will be placed on a probation status. This probation period will last two weeks, until March 28th, 2014.
I do my best to try different techniques with children but I also know I cannot be the right fit for every family or child. The goal in the next two weeks is to improve DCB’s behavior and listening skills at *********. I need to be available to all of the kids here and when forced to give most of my attention to one child it is not fair to the others or myself. I feel redirection and other behavior modification techniques I have tried are not currently working but I will continue to try. If I do not feel like there has been adequate improvement, I will have no choice but to terminate our contract.
Another childcare setting with more teachers and space DCB may excel where he is struggling here. If you feel it is in his best interest for you to find another provider please let me know. If you feel ********* is still the best place for him I hope we can work together with DCB to see some improvement.
Thank you,
*******
