Most of these kids would be better off in day care

I work in a home daycare. Kids nowadays are much harder to take care of because they are far too spoiled and humored. While they do listen to us much better than the parents, you can see that they are over-indulged. It seriously makes me afraid for the future of this world. What they need is consistency from both ends, and most do not get it. Parents are too lazy to do the right thing,as it takes work. So you have children who expect to win all the time, and get what they want all the time, even ina daycare setting. People need a drivers lisence to drive a car, I think they should have one to have a child.



Ouch: First word spoken by children with older siblings.

Are you kidding? NO! Have you read my thread about timeout refusal in the daycare center I worked at? they were deathly against the use of time out, the words time out, what have you. Here is the part that pertains to this...


My story: I was dealing with a three year old that was not listening and was quite upset about something or other. I said to the child "Do you need to take some time for yourself?" The child said yes and I sat him in a chair at a table with a glass of water to calm down. A parent was there picking up his son and went to the office stating that I had used "time out" which was a day care center policy no-no. the assistant director came into the room soon after the parent left with his son and talked to me about it. About three minutes transpired since the "Take some time?" and the AD coming to see me and the child was okay and we had already talked about listening and he had already left his chair (with my permission.)
SO the AD talks to me about my using the term "Time out" (which I didn't use.) and was nice in re-stating that "We don't use time outs here..." and I listened to it intentively (while watching the other kids no less!!) When she was finished I just asked. "Did that parent say I had used Time out?" She said yes, and I said "that was not what I said. child x was getting upset over XYZ and was ready to take his anger to the next level. I stopped him before he escalated to violence and I had him sit down with a glass of water and 'take some time for himself'. He was there calming down for a few minutes and when he was ready to talk about it we talked and it's over."

And to tell you the truth, the kids most of the kids that are on this show are because their parents trained them to be spoiled brats.
