[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 90403, member: 3626"] I was always pretty honest. I would give specific examples of things she would do. I wanted to be sure the staff could cope with these type of behaviors. Having her being forced to leave a day care would have been far more traumatic than having her labeled, in my opinion. The last thing I wanted was my child to be set up to have a major meltdown because the school didn't know that grabbing her arm terrified her and the like. I didn't give specific details about her past, just stated she was adopted and had been abused and neglected. I'd leave a sheet with tricks I'd found had worked when she was having problems, etc. I'd do pretty much do the same thing with her teachers. Having a child who could melt down at the drop of a hat, who thought hitting another child when something wasn't "fair," who thought scissors should be used at ALL times and the like, I learned the more I could tell those who were helping me protect and care for her, the better job they could do.
