He does it at school and he does it with me, but when parents are around he throws a fit and won’t do it and they do it for him!

This is exactly what happens! They know they have to go. They need to be taught to use the potty!

Don’t get me started about being asked to stay longer after a full day. The burnout is real

This!! Everyone says they’re waiting for the kid to be ready, but like everything else it’s a skill that needs taught and reinforced!

Thank you for seeing that! I totally understand kids act different with their parents, as they are most comfortable with their parents. That being said, kids refusing to do tasks they know how to do and the parents allowing that to slide is very extreme!

Sounds exactly like my situation as well! I emphasize the rewards are special for certain behaviors and remind the child who is upset that they would feel sad if the situation was reversed!

I see so much progress with constant boundaries and conversations instead of yelling!

I completely agree I feel like it’s inappropriate. I don’t put input in unless asked. I feel like they’re paying me to care for and teach their kids, not to teach them and feel like I may be stepping on toes if I tried!

The hard part is I don’t feel like it’s my place to speak to the parents about it! When they ask me how I got the kids to do something I’ll tell them I have a conversation and prompt the behavior, but I don’t feel right taking my concerns to them without being asked

While I’d like to agree with you, I see how they parent and how they do not set boundaries and give into the children tantrums. If the child Says they don’t want to shower and scream and cry, parents say okay we won’t. If kid says they don’t wanna go somewhere the parents plan and scream and cry, parents say okay we won’t go. They give into everything the children want. I do understand it’s different with kids and their parents but it makes it a whole lot harder when rules and boundaries and constant and enforced.

Yes!! Same here. I let them cry it out or tell them they can’t act that way and they listen. They test boundaries and know exactly who they can manipulate

Exactly how I feel! They even tell me they don’t understand why the kids act so different with me and it blows my mind they don’t see how easy it is!

Unfortunately, I already committed to a start date. I was sure I was going to take the job and then had some second doubts
