Give the issue to them and just state the facts:

DCB is aggressive with others
DCB is violent towards parents
DCB does not listen when told to stop
DCB is causing an issue with the other kids
DCB is in jeopardy of being kicked out of daycare for being aggressive.

What are YOU (parents) going to do about this?



I would simply state the issue AND the consequence if it isn't remedied.

I think often times parents wait for us to fix it or do give suggestions but this IS the family's problem as much as it is DCB's and if you let family know he could possibly lose his space in your program due to his aggressiveness, they might just step up and start supporting his need for a change.

If the parents asked for my assistance or advice in the matter, I would gladly help with ideas and suggestions but I refuse to do the hard work to fix an issue for someone who created it...kwim?

If they don't seem interested in working this out, you'll have to term for the benefit and safety of the others or deal with the fall out....and you know it rarely turns out well when you have an aggressive one that is allowed ot behave that way at home. It's like raking water.
The magical, nice daycare lady has spoken and it is so.

Parents of aggressive chilren rarely take "criticism" of their aggressive child well and seem to want to pinpoint the blame ANYWHERE else but their own lack of parenting. So, be prepared and don't let that surprise you if they start wanting to know what has changed at YOUR program since you're just now addressing the issue in a big way or how are YOU correcting it because they "don't see this at home."
