[quote=Anonymous]I've worked for this family for almost a year and will be leaving them come fall when their son (13 months) starts daycare. I absolutely love the child, but the parents, mostly the mother are driving me crazy. They have always been anxious and nervous, but it has gotten worse as time has gone on instead of better. They think he is not developing appropriately for his age. I've worked with enough children to know that he is, and all children develop at their own pace. I've tried to be reassuring but continually get shot down. When I tell them "the baby repeated a word today" they say "I'm sure it was a coincidence" it's almost as if they want something to be wrong with him. While the dad frequently thanks me and tells me what a good job I am doing, I feel like I get nothing but criticism from her. In the past they have brought up that they realize I have more experience than them and have said they want my opinions on developmental things however it seems far from that in actuality. I doubt they will last in daycare, due to her needing to control every second of everyday. Our contract states that I should speak to them about any concerns, but I'm wondering if I should simply suck it up for a few more weeks and not say anything. [/quote]
