I have a couple of families who have older children that either no longer attend or have never attended. I had a similar problem with these kids and some of the behaviors they bring in with them. (I even have a closed off entry way that parents stay in). After awhile, I couldn't stand it anymore and just outright told all the parents that I would appreciate if they did not allow the older sibs to come in.

I also do not allow them to play outside at my house either because if they get hurt or injured I am NOT going to be held responsible for it...ALL sibs stay in the car and wait for the parent.

I have also had to talk with a couple families who make drop off and pick up a family affair. I am pretty sure that mom, dad, grandma, Aunt Debbie and big brother all do not need to come in when dropping off one kid.....
