[quote=Anonymous]I text more with older kids and with new jobs, and it tends to die down as I get to know a) the kids and b) the parents' expectations and style.

With a baby or toddler, their needs are more tied to immediate physical needs/experiences and a knowledge of child development should allow you to solve most problems.  Wih older kids, problems tend to be more individual.  Is this kid upset about homework because he's tired or has low blood sugar or he is struggling in math or he had a difficult day socially or he had a bad experience with a previous caregiver or...?  Texting what's happening in the moment can help me get to know the kids better and help them resolve issues faster and more smoothly.

OP, I would just start asking yourself the question: "What could MB do with this info?"
If it's likely she will have helpful feedback, share.  If you weren't sure if you handled it well and want to ask for specific feedback, share.  If it's a cute moment that might make her smile, share.  If it's a minir issue that you competently handled and won't cause lasting issues, then make a quick note in a log if you wish but don't text or call.[/quote]
