[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again.

I really do appreciate the very helpful feedback on how these might have been better answered. I will definitely keep some of the comments here in mind if this situation ever arises in the future.

OTOH, I do suspect I dodged a bullet. The other questions that I didn't include in my initial post were even more problematic (to me), so the entire experience left an off taste in my mouth.

Here were some of the other questions:

- In general, what developmental milestones should [name withheld] have achieved by her 4th birthday?  What should be her goals before her 5th birthday?  Why do you believe these are the milestones she should have achieved or should achieve.

- In general, what developmental milestones should [name withheld] have achieved by his 2nd birthday?  What should be his goals by his 3rd birthday?  Why do you believe these are the milestones he should have achieved or should achieve?

- What tools and resources will you use to bring creative development ideas to my family?  What on-line and local resources will you use to identify great things and ideas to stimulate their little brains.

- How would you regularly communicate to us the progress against:

- your weekly tasks? 
     - Your learning goals for the children? The progress of the children? Specifically, [name withheld] needs to learn to recognize her ABC's and to write them.  She also needs to learn to write her name and learn, write and recognize her numbers.  How much time during the week would you spend reinforcing and teaching these skills and how will you approach this teaching? Also specifically, [name withheld] needs to improve his speaking abilities and use the potty.  How will you approach helping him with this?

- Activities and general information from the day? (What they ate, did they sleep, things they said, did, things you noticed, things you did?)

- The plan for the week? Month?

Yes.  Or total rookies who found a list of questions somewhere and thought this would be a good idea and instead are learning a painful lesson![/quote]
