Uodate on the daycare situation

hey all

i spoke to my aunt who works in the child care industry and she advised to that before i did anything rash, to speak to the provider about her choice in words.

well, my dh spoke to her this afternoon and i am happy to say that it was a good learning experience for my provider and for us.

my provider, who i really do like and i like the daycare alot, felt that "parents want honesty." but my husband explained that honesty is important, but it is more important to explain *why* a child had a bad day or was cranky or was a "monster".

simply telling a parent that their child was a "monster" is not descriptive of their behavior. tell me she didnt eat, she fell down, she hit her head, she didnt nap.

after my dh explained this to her, she seemed to understand. the provide even asked my dh if he felt they were not caring for her. dh explained that sometimes when we hear about her day in a negative way it does make us nervous. she assured us that she is well cared for.

i feel alot better and i am willing to give them another chance.
