Looks like it is time for a serious chat with mom. You will need to see if you and her can come to some agreement that his behavior is dangerous to the others and if she wants to continue having her child in daycare (yours or any other) she will need to start working with you to change his bad behaviors. If she doesn't seem interested in working together then I think that the family may not be a good match for your program. You have an obligation to the other kids in your care as well. It is definitely hard sometimes when parenting can take on so many different styles, but cookies and chips for breakfast?!?! No wonder he is so wild...he's all hopped up on sugar!!
Realistically, you will find your share of families with parenting styles that just don't work with yours. Your solution is to basically work it out or let him go.
Open, honest communication, along with an effort on both your parts, is absolutely necessary. Good Luck and keep us posted!
