Child Disrespecting Their Parent

[knoxmomof2]

I have a separate drop off space, so I just tell them I'm going to check on the other kids and let them work it out. I only get involved if they're affecting me or my property. If Mom wants to sit there and get slapped, that's on her. The child won't be doing it to me!

If they were in my daycare space and dawdling/ not putting away their toy and leaving, I would get involved in order to get them both out the door. I have done that in the past when I didn't have a separate space for drop off. I had to physically pull a child from a ride on toy and walk him to the door. It needed to end!

I don’t intervene if a child is being disrespectful to his/her parent. What I will do is correct a child who is breaking a classroom rule like climbing on the tables or throwing toys even if mommy or daddy is present. If Johnny wants to sass his mommy that is her job as a parent to put a stop to the behavior. If Johnny is doing something where he might get hurt or hurt another child it is my job as a teacher to keep my students safe.
