Throwing Fit At Drop Off

[trix23]

Whay specifically did you say? Did you tell her right then and there or give a notice at pick-up?

I gave notice the next day. When I am angry I always try to sleep on it to not over react...and I was very angry when she did it. At the time I just told her she could take her son with her or leave him in care but either way she had to go because it was disrupting our day.

Ah yes. I do this. I gently take them by the hand to the crying spot and let them do their thing, if needed. No attention for a drop off fit. However, those that are KIND to their mamas and daddies at drop off (no crying and no whining are the rules) get a sticker for their sticker books. WOOHOO!

I use some other method. As any method it can work with some kids and can do not work with others. I offer to cry together with a kid and I do.
I also do not give any rewards for good behavior except hugs and verbal encouragement.

I smile to parents and say "run!" and they do.
I do not know any other way to fix this problem.

Love it! And "don't give a barking dog a cookie"! Must remember this also!!!

You all crack me up!
