[quote=Anonymous]I work for a WAHD and care for an almost four year old. The child has Zero desire to do anything on his own. Going to the bathroom he refuses to do anything on his own even though he's more than capable. He won't play on his own, color on his own, and sometimes won't even eat on his own. I'm concerned because the parents do everything for him! And because I work for a work at home parent it's hard to make him do things that I know his parents usually do for him. Because he whines and says he doesn't want to do "insert whatever" on his own. It becomes a battle between us, so I usually just do it for him, because if db comes out he just does it for his son anyway. I'm worried that this child will go to school and be totally unprepared, but I don't know how to make the situation better. In fact when he was younger he was actually more independent because he wanted to be, but now the parents control so much he's lost interest in independence and prefers to be lazy. What should I do?
