[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I pay over $2k/month for a daycare, and it is overall a good, reputable daycare with teachers have awesome educational background. I am curious if it is normal that daycare teachers often complaint & ask me how to handle my 2 year old DD when she does this or that, such as she throw toys around, such as she does not sit at circle time etc? I tell them I don't know because I have been trying to work on that too. I thought even they are young (young or mid-20s), but they are teachers with childhood education/psychology/special education degree educational background, isn't it they should know it better than I do. And, sometimes, I ask them about what I should do when DD does that at home (potty problem, brush teeth etc), they don't have any good advice. Everyone tells me that young daycare teachers are energetic/fun, but I am suspicious that some of them may lack experiences at handling kids with different types of personalities. I do admit that my DD is not a typical well-behaved kid, but she gets along with other kids/does not cry/does not causes big troubles. Do I expect too much from daycare teachers? Before I enroll at daycare, I thought that daycare teachers could be my potential advisors on problems that I encounter when taking care/dealing with DD at home.[/quote]

It sounds like your child is new to their care AND poorly behaved. They are probably trying to understand how her behavior is handled at home.

It also sounds like English is not your first language. Are you communicating with them in English? Is English their first language?

It sounds to me like you need to have a more formal conversation about your daughter's behavior at daycare and at home and how to manage it appropriately. Included in this conversation should be the teachers, the director, and your partner, if you have one.[/quote]
