I too believe that teachers and parents should have good relationship for the benefit and safety of the children. I’ve often had parents who were all ex-something! Or parents with poor health issues which affects the daily life of their child–some hereditary and some self inflicted.What do you do with mixed aged children in a home-care environment? I try to include all the children and give each child their own time and space. I also try to keep my daily schedule into a routine where all can follow. It seems hard sometimes if a child doesn’t know what’s going to happen next. It seems to cause a lot of confusion or disorder! My age group is infants to preschoolers. I try to get the preschoolers prepared to go to kindergarten and teach them not just their ABC’s or 123’s but how to put on their own shoes or clothes.
