[quote=Anonymous]OP here: I have a degree in child development from a prestigious university in California. I'm positive that qualifies me to work with young children. I asked a question that I THOUGHT I knew the answer too, but kids have been known to surprise me with their answers. I also believe children should have to think about the reasons they do the things they do. I did not FORCE an apology, I told him I thought he owed me one. There's a big difference. Had MB not interrupted me I was planning on turning this into a teaching moment about lying and then taking responsibility for it, especially when caught. I don't get these parents that want to completely coddle their children from ever thinking they could do anything wrong. They are the everyone gets a trophy, everything has to be fair type of parents so I knew things like this would come up. But I NEVER expected to be called out in front of a child. That part bothered me the most for sure! However I wanted to come on here first to see what others thought oft wording. Although short of me screaming at him or telling him he's a bad kid I don't think the parents should ever call me out in front of the kid. I have been thinking more and more that this isn't a good fit with this family and this is definitely the straw that broke the camel's back. I'll be handing them my letter of resignation tomorrow.
