I find this interesting. Heading the advice I have read from here, I take a lot of precautions to make sure my own children are not treated any differently than my DCK's. DD is in school all day, however my son is part of my group and as many providers children, he likes to act out when parents are here. As a result he has a special basket of toys that he plays with in his room during pick ups and drop offs and I never post him in pictures that I post to my business FB page. I see it as parents are paying me to provide care for their children, they don't want to see mine in the photos.

Almost every single parent has asked where he is and why he isn't in the room during pick and drop off times.

I have also noticed when my own children are not present during interviews, those families never enroll. When my children are present, they enroll.

It's odd and I can't figure out why.
