Things parents wish counselors knew: (sorry to high jack this thread)
When we drop off or kids, if you’re not warm and engaging, and attempting to involve them in play to help them adjust, we question whether you know how to take care of kids (adjustment is hard and they need counselors who sense that and dive in to help them)
We worry that you get so busy, that you forget or neglect to change their diaper frequently enough
When you’re really young, it concerns us, but when you’re warm and loving it can make up for that.
A note about how our kids are doing can go a really long way in giving us confidence that you’re watching them well (ie: making friends, playing with others, eating, general mood).
