Katymac, congrats on your outstanding
ST hello, I venture in every now and again if I get time.

Now I have pp coming to see me later this week who can only make mornings. I usually try to get these appointments for the afternoons as two 4.5 yr olds that I mind at the moment are a handful ,forever telling tales on each other, one gets a little physical i.e kicking, smacking ,shouting etc if things aren't going the right way. WWYD? there's no way that I will get peace and quiet to talk to these parents and as I'm losing so many children due to school moves etc I really need to make a good impression. I'm thinking of maybe cancelling one of these two children although it's very short notice but I just know that they will not behave when together.

Hi Hennipenni, would bribery work???

babies are 8mths and 15mths

good idea maybe to cancel one good luck henni

dmo, enjoy the peace ~ every minute of it!

hello, everyone

hennipenni, i would also go the bribery route!!!

i had a pp here today for 2 hours 25 minutes!!! yikes. then asked me if i knew of anyone else...... but in her defence she does have an fairly unusual situation. lovely little girl! and she would fit in well.

oh dear, i really need some new children. and in a hurry!!!!

happy anniversary, dmo

Alas, I have tried the bribary route before with these two and it doesn't work. I really need to know that they'll behave and if I could trust them then I would go down the bribary route. looking like I'm going to have to cancell one of them.

The reason I can't use bribary is that one of the children pretty much gets what they want when they want it (not with me obviously). So I couldn't use sweets, chocolates, ice creams etc as these are a daily occurance to the mindee virtually every day.. Star charts don't work with these two either!

Number four, I've had that happen to me as well.
