The inability to properly help kids in homes that don`t qualify as abuse under the state but are harming the childs development regardless. I worry about how it would be out of my control but all I could do is remind myself that I am there to help them know that the whole world isn’t that way

I personally don`t agree with much screen time of any kind for children until around the ages of being a teenager and then with guidance. However, I know we are in a rapidly evolving world of technology, and having my kid be uneducated and unfamiliar with it can do more harm than good, so I would rather do supported screen time where I get to help set the foundations for their knowledge on it.

allowing myself to be a step beneath the parents if that is what allows them to be the most receptive. I
ve had parents where no matter what you told them, they wouldnt listen if they felt they were perceiving an equal footing with each other or believing me to be a better parent than them. My priority is to do what I need to get the communication through, so long as no one is being hurt, the parents and children leave safe and happy, then I`m okay letting some parents think less of me for the benefit of their child. -
During transitions, having the kids pick up after themselves or drink some water to help those who struggle to transition from activity to activity. That way, the transition is easier for most, they learn the habit of picking up after themselves, and remember to drink water more.
