There's a whole sticky thread "The Positive Thread ", that has hundreds of inspiring, uplifting and positive comments. Please visit it.

This is largely a problem solving forum for providers. It does contain some venting, most of tbe vents are completely appropriate. I have long advocated for using appropriate wording.......and I do NOT approve of providers who use terms like spoiled brats, special snowflake, etc to describe kids. This is a public forum, visited by parents, that represents our industry to the world. Same goes for parent issues. No parent deserves to be called names. While some may feel this job would be great if not for the parents, I don't agree. Parents pay my bills and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve families.

I do love kids, my job, my cute historic center. But we all have issues we need help with, and this forum is a great resource. To categorize many of us as mean spirited or jaded is not fair. I also dislike sweeping generalization about providers.
