And if a parent accused you of being clueless as to the ways and behavior of children how would you react as a professional?
To the first question: You don't. It isn't your right or place. I say that with the utmost respect.
To the second: I'd terminate face to face, verbally followed by handing her a short, nondescript termination notice with their final date listed. IME, making the term immediate, with no fee's due, is the simplest way to make it as drama free as possible.
No parent wants to hear NO and few seem to have the social skills to accept a NO with grace anymore.
This particular parent seems to need the drama as a source of emotional fulfillment, run from those types now that you will recognize it in the future.
