    What Do You Say When You Term?

    I'm not sure what to say for terming a client. I have a written notice I'm giving her but I don't know what to say.

      I used to hand the notice to the parent in a sealed envelope at pick up and say something like this:

      "This is for you. Please read this information carefully. If you have any questions please contact me via e-mail (or we can chat at drop off tomorrow)"

      It depends on the parent and the situation in regards to saying we can chat in the morning.

      If it's a hostile break up then I wouldn't extend that offer and would probably verbally add something about the info in the envelope being a topic that shouldn't be discussed in front of the child/other kids.

      Usually the parent just takes the notice and goes but if they try to open it, I just repeat that it's better they waited until they were home because (again) I didn't want to discuss in front of the kids.

      I'm much more verbal now days for any term or sticky situation but I think it's because most my daycare parents are there same age as my own kids so it feels more like parenting them and having to explain why their grounded.. !

      Anyways, hope that helps
