[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Preschool teacher here. I fully believe that she could have quit because of your kid. There’s a reason it’s very hard to find daycare workers. It’s not worth it for the money. I’m lucky to be compensated appropriately at my school for my masters degree in education, but the bar is generally pretty low. 
I encourage you to take a closer look at the “boy behavior” you describe. The truth is that most 3 year old boys can follow classroom rules and routines. For example, at the playground, your boy might be one who loves to climb high, get his energy out, etc. But those behaviors are only typical and appropriate at certain times. If something was truly going on, you should have been made aware and that is on the director. The teacher quitting is not your responsibility and you need to find a way to move on from it.  You also need to ask the director to be brutally honest with you about the concerns re: your kid. [/quote]

+1. But also OP, be kind to yourself.  Most FTPs do not really know the line between “normal” and “not normal.”  The fact that a seasoned childcare worker could not handle and may have even quit over your child’s behavior signals some deeper psychological problems, not some quick fix of you being stricter at home, etc. They need to be evaluated so you can get the tools and therapies you need.
