The biggest problem is that her parent's & grandparent's are friend's with my family. I can only imagine the grief I'll receive.
Do I just hang in there until next fall when the child will be entering Kindergarten, or terminate now?😫
Help!!😫😫
Term now.
NOT fair to you or the other kids that a friendship means you are required to put up with bad behavior.
I wouldn't spell it out (reasons why you are terming) but I'd certainly say she has outgrown your environment or that you are simply unable to provide what she needs.
If the parents are aware that you have been having these issues (on any level) being termed shouldn't be surprising.
