Hi everyone, I just found this group and it looks like you guys are really helpful! I've been having a lot of issues at pick up times, especially with one child in particular. I swear he stores up everything I told him to stop doing during the day and starts doing it as soon as he sees his mom (jumping on the couch, climbing the stairs, jumping off stairs, and just throwing tantrums in general). I would love to have them all ready to go when parents come, but the problem is that they all come anywhere between 4 and 5:30, and each persons time is not consistent. I close at 5:30 so whoever is here during the last 10 min or so starts getting their shoes and coats on. Also, I live in a split level, so if I am running up to the entry getting kids ready the kids downstairs start getting wild and acting up.

Anybody have any tips for making pick up time run smoothly and curbing the acting up/tantrums?

Thanks!
