So reading your post about wild kids, kids off schedules, just having to referee kids all the time got me thinking. Also, with some of the post on parents that spend two hours with children at night has me wondering something also.
Before Thanksgiving break I was a wreck of a person with my childcare and this had been going on for two months. The week after Thanksgiving my childcare was a whole new childcare. Kids were sleeping, eating, back to their old selves. I have 3 teachers children and 2 non-teachers children. All but 1 child is here 8-10 hours a day. I'm wondering if these kids were missing their parents. I had 3 of them that were just becoming immpossible. Think about it these children are only seeing their parents 2-3 hours a day! Some of my parents also work on the weekends so they are with other parent or someone.
I think that these little ones were able to spend some great time with parents over the break and get what they needed. I have a week of vacation coming up soon so I think the same thing will happen. Lots of mommy and daddy time and then they will be ready to come back to childcare.
So for those who are having problems right now with little ones maybe they are just missing the parents. Maybe they still want to be with them since they were able to be with the over Thanksgiving. Maybe 4 days wasn't enough time!
