I have a set of twins that have been here for 5 weeks. They are brother and sister 5yrs old. The are by no means awful children but, have a very hard time controlling them selves. Nothing major and nothing that I don't think will work its self out. I use the Love and Logic approach for discipline. I tell the children something one time if they continue then they are removed from the situation. Often times the "offense" continues in other areas of my home so they have lots of quiet time.
Today at pick up their older sister came along at pick up. She asked if they had to sit alone. I told her not to worry about it. She kept asking and I repeated myself. Soon the twins told her that yes they did. Grandmother informed me that when they get into "trouble" here they have to go to bed early. I'm not sure how early etc. But, I feel bad for them as I feel like they have served their time here so to me they start with a clean slate at home. Also, I know that can make it a stressful evening at home. I don't want that at all. A lot of the behaviors are things that I know were okay at previous daycare and with their grandmother who was their caregiver for 3.5 years.
Do I talk to mom and dad or just leave it be?
