I don't...I'm too blunt and bossy that I don't use this method for bad behavior at pickup.... Most my daycare parents are my own kids' age or younger so it's second nature for me to state my expectations clearly without fear of the parent being offended.
In your situation, I would absolutely tell the parent before hand...I'd tell them since they can't manage their child's behavior during pick up, that you are implementing the Bye-Bye Outside method of exchanging the child.
If mom/dad don't like it, tell them you have no choice as you can't allow the child to be so destructive and disobedient during times of transition as it's a liability to you and your program and will not be tolerated so Bye-Bye Outside..
