Do you have issues? I guarantee you, as a child care business owner, you'll always have issues! The question is, “Is the issue with the kids? With the parents? With your family? Or all of the above?”
You knew from the start you’d have issues with the daycare children, right? I’ll help you solve these problems and more.
You probably didn’t expect to have issues with the parents. After all, you only see them for a few minutes in the morning and a few minutes in the evening. But most providers will tell you, you’ll have more issues with daycare parents than you do with the children. I’ll let you know what to expect and how to avoid possible conflict.
You also have the family issue. You’ll need to exert extra effort to be sure your kids do not resent you operating a daycare in their home. The daycare children will be playing with your children's toys, sleeping in your children’s beds, breaking your children's toys, making messes, yelling, screaming and crying and taking your time away from your child. I’ll share with you some things I did to help ease the inconvenience of having the daycare in my children’s home. Another family issue may be your own child’s behavior. Depending on your child’s demeanor, their jealousy may turn them into the naughtiest kid in your care. I know it happened to me! Find out what I did when my son was the naughtiest kid in my daycare.
