Not a Good Situation
Some of you know I work at a center, and I have a 5yo in my room who has been diagnosed with some behavioral and mental issues. She is very challenging to deal with on a daily basis...tantrums, fighting, must have EVERYTHING her way....she basically needs her own adult. But she's being raised in a kinship care situation and came from a pretty bad home as a 3yo...and we've been helping her family since she started almost 2 years ago.
Recently, the relative who keeps her came in and displayed some inappropriate behavior and language about a situation that she should have spoken with me or the director privately about. There were other staff and (including her own) children present when she did this. We spoke to out director about it, who then spoke to her about it. She became angry, and confronted us during daycare hours and again in front of many children this time and her own child. Since then she has been very distant, and some mornings even lets the child in the door and leaves without a word.
The child's behavior has gone from challenging to super challenging since these incidents. It's like she witness her relative being disrespectful toward us, and she no longer feels its important for her to mind us either. Her relative is the kind of person who would talk against us in front of the child...and she is a very bright and perceptive child.
Soooo...this ****s and I don't know how to handle it. Im just trying to bide my time til school lets back in, in 3 weeks...but we end up jockeying her between teachers throughout the day because she upsets whatever room she's in so much that the teacher can't stand more than a couple hours at a time.
Oh and she's there 9 to 6 every and does NOT nap.
Our director doesn't term often...it has to be absolutely horrid for her to term. Plus she will never term if a parent is already angry at us, because of the whole fake-licensing-report thing.

. I guess she's just afraid the bad publicity of a licensing visit...we're in a very "word-of-mouth" area. But by us being a Social Service-contract center, we're regulated by them and can be "inspected" at any time - not really a difference.
