Of the last ten years of experience can you tell me the percentage of kids in your child care who are well behaved, respectful, calm, kind, good eaters, and sleep well?
Out of that percentage can you tell me what percent of their parents do you believe were doing a good job as parents? Meaning they disciplined fairly, had expectations of good behavior, fed healthy food, kept kids clean in well fitted clothing, expected reasonable sleep... rest schedules, expected manners.. and spent a good amount of awake time with their kids.
Now the same question of the last five-years.
Now the same questions of the last year.
Last question. In your entire experience of ten years plus... what percentage of kids have you had where the parents were what you would consider top quality parents but had kids with poor behavior over the years you had the kids?
Been in business 22 years.....the first 10 years went awesome! kids follow directions, do as told and respected the consequences of their behavior as did the parents of these kids by offering full support to my assistant and I. The last 10 years, it has gradually turned into something totally opposite....while I still have control, it takes much more effort and sometimes more than I want to give.
