Respectfully, of course!
There have been moments where I could have said the same thing! Part of me wanted to call ALL my dcp's on Monday..
I guess I wanted more info. before I said "term". For me, I have very few problems turning wee one's behavior around, with a little work on the parent's part (or at least awareness). In my state, though, I can nap kids in any far room I want. That makes a HUGE difference, because with a 1 year old, I would have no problem with modified CIO. If I had to nap them all together...no way.
On the other hand, a 3 year old is almost always a lost cause for me. A badly behaved older child is not really something I deal well with.
I guess I wanted more info before I told OP to throw up her hands and say "bye bye".
