Any country where children are not kings apparently.

Some people forget the families also have to face some culture shock.

Yeah no...

If a child doesn’t want to get up, I pull off their covers. Then, if they still won’t get up, I scoop up the child to stand them up. Last resort is plopping them in the tub and turning on the shower (normal temp, I have no interest in scalding or shocking a child).

Oh my god. I have several kids. They all get up when I tell them to. Is getting kids out of bed really this hard? Maybe put them to bed earlier so they are not so tired.

+1. And give them a few minutes to get up between with you first go in there and when they really have to get up.

I'm from the Netherlands and a PP above declared that this is how the entire continent does it. I suppose said PP has lived in all 44 countries on the continent and woke kids up in each, but their ankles.

Stupidity is a world trait. It really unites the human race.

Well that definitely omits THIS country then.

I’m not the parent, and when they’re with me, they’re in bed on time. When kids have to be up at 5.30-6, but a parent let them stay up until 11 or 12, getting them up is a nightmare. But as I said, it’s never okay to drag them out of bed...

Nope.

When CCAP transition docs are this explicit, the agency personnel actually want them to go home but are pretending to give APs the "chance" to find a family.

UGh, that means the host family has to deal with during their "pretending". CCAP should house APs during transition if they insist on pretending.
