I would definitely do the same thing. I would ask the dad to just leave even if the child keeps on crying. Then I would ask their friends to play if he wants to. If not I will come up with a work that will calm himself, or to ask him to go outside for a little while.

Scenario 4: Dad is yelling at child

I would handle this situation by taking charge. It is our job t be a relief for the parents and chaotic drop offs are quite common. I would assure the parent that I can take it from here (the child will forgive their dad!!) and take the child nd distract them/nurture them. Then speak with the father at the next meet and discuss how we can make smoother drop offs in the future.

I would start by approaching them by asking if I could help them. Next I would take eye contact with the child and talk to him with a calm and friendly voice and explain him how his daddy needs to go to work just like children go to school. I would help the child to say goodbye to his dad and hold him or hold his hand. I would introduce the child to an interesting activity or a friend.

Scenario 4
I would approach the child and dad with a smile and direct the child into other things so both of them will not get upset

Dad is stressed and rushed as well as his child. I would attempt to engage the child if they are willing. However, I would check with Dad to see if there is anyway that he could make time to get to school a little earlier so that he can spend a few extra minutes for a longer drop off in the morning.

I would reassure the dad that there's nothing to worry about. I'll look after the child then I'd get down to the child's level and let him know that I will take good care of him and his dad will be back to pick him up at the end of the day. Then I would suggest that we go and find and activity to do together

In this scenario, I would calmly interject the situation. I would approach dad and child and tell him to say goodbye to dad. Tell child it’s going to be ok and try to distract him with playing with his friends or with an activity. Politely inform dad that it's best to stay calm in these situations and the child will calm down soon after dad leaves.

I would say oh look who’s here let’s go inside daddy is late for work and if you let your daddy go he will come and pick you up when he is off work. Say goodbye and say hello to your friends.

I would ensure the father that this is normal for a child, but with the care center expertise the child will be in a jungle of fun in no time-.

I would approach the child and let him know that he is going to be doing lots of fun activities and that his dad had to get going but will be back later to hear about what we did that day. I would lead the child to a fun toy/activity and let the dad know he is okay to leave and to maybe leave a little earlier next time so there's time for goodbyes.

I'd already have a relationship with the family, so I'd immediately walk to the little boy and talk in a a calm voice asking if he'd like to do something special. Tell him all the fun things that we have planned for the day. I also would let dad know he's in good hands, and it would be ok to drop him off and he is more then welcome to check in on his son whenever he wanted.

First off, I would handle this situation by taking charge. It is our job to be a relief for the parents. I would calmly advise dad with a smile that i can take his son no problem to an area where he would be most interested in playing or doing something that allows the son to redirect his attention.

We will take care of child and ask dad that child is safe and its very common at this age. Your child will be alright after sometime when he will mingle with other kids ,so that the dad can control his frustation and leave happily from child care.

First I would listen for a minute, I do not want to interrupt the dad. When I find a good time to step in I will try and talk with his son about how dad has to work and how important it is to go to work. I would then find a favorite toy of his and offer to play with him. I would ask dad to give him one last hug and to say goodbye. Throughout the week I would observe his schedule and see if there is a consistent routine or if mom and dad are dropping off sporadically. If there isn't a routine I would wait until pick up and offer some suggestions to the parents about keeping a steady routine and possibly finding a toy that will help him with the transition.
