I am not 'letting' her sleep all day. I have told you that the child will be in the middle of an activity and literally fall, face first onto the table dead asleep! She will fall asleep standing up! The child is so tired that she CAN NOT stay awake. So, after numerous times of waking her up, I finally tell her to go to sleep on a mat. I can not obviously sleep deprive her either.
Regarding the IFSP, the teacher of the Americans with Disabilities Act told the entire class that we daycare providers are quite capable and should create one just between us and the parents. So, if that's not true, someone needs to tell that teacher so. The video did state that it is to be with a TEAM of professionals, but the teacher told us we can do it just between us and the parents.
I'm not going to call anything I do by the title IFSP. I will just stick with what I've already been doing which is simply creating a plan of goals that the parents and I work together to help the child achieve. It has no legal title. It's just my little thing that I made up to have a set of goals that we are all progressively working towards.
As far as this particular child that I have been telling you guys about. I decided last night that today I would tell the parents that today would be her last day here. She simply disrupts the day too much and the parent does not care to pay me my late fee or abide by some of my other policies. However, the child didn't come to daycare today. I don't know if it's because the mother got mad about me demanding last night that this morning she obey one of my policies that she's been ignoring or if it's because she didn't have the money to pay me on time again, or if she decided not to come back to daycare here. I have been fussing with pretty hard daily morning and night for the past week. She is probably tired of me putting my foot down about my rules.
Anyway, I am done with that family. I feel bad for the little girl, but there's really nothing I can do for or about her situation. And since I can't do anything about it, but it upsets me as much as it does and disrupts my daycare so much, I need to stop watching her.
Mom2Two said that I'm taking too much responsibility for this child. I agree. I believe that is one of my biggest problems with doing daycare in this area. I see things going on in families here that really upset me. So I try to 'teach' the parents what I consider to be the way things should be done. But, different families raise children in different ways. I won't agree with the way that some people raise their children. And somehow, I have to stop trying to 'fix' families 'ways of doing things'. I have lived and done daycare in this area for 6 or so years and I still haven't learned that the majority of people here do not and will not raise their children in a manner that I agree with. But since I want to continue doing daycare for the rest of my life and I can't afford to move to an area where kids are raised the way I agree with, I really must learn to accept the way it is here and simply create a daycare environment that I like and realize that the only thing I have control over is the way I organize and operate my daycare.
