In the past few months, since moving my daycare to my home, my husband urged me to change the way I do things.

I was bad for stressing over whether I had posted enough reminders, made enough calls, made enough comments etc. about things that needed remembered.

He reminded me that I was being paid to tend the children.....not their parents.

He told me to relax and let them fend for themselves and take responsibility for their own children.

I now just post a calendar by the entrance with closed days on it. Told them that was all I was going to do from now on. That's it. THEIR responsibility to take note. If they show up, I will point, say sorry and close the door (if I even open it)

I had a hard time at first, but now it's released me from so much stress. I am not their keeper.
