Childcare Intake Form: Fill & Download for Free

Yes, there are such data. However, how you interpret data is very important.Mental and nutritional suffering can affect one's IQ. Nutritional intake or diet during pregnancy and infancy is one of the factors to consider.The fact is that a healthy diet with larger portions of fish and other omega-3 rich foods (like seaweed and fernbrake) help with one’s cognitive ability. These omega-3 rich ingredients are widely used in East Asian cuisines.East Asians are also very serious about early education, including fetal education.I had my baby in South Korea. The local government give parents roughly $500 a month to pay for childcare on top of $500 for pregnancy health care. The money is transferred directly to the parents’ account. The hospital I stayed at always played relaxing classical music in the labor room and in the hallways, using aroma therapy in the labor room. The hospital also gave us free books of black and white patterns to show our baby son.Now compare that system of care with an X mother who doesn't have enough food during pregnancy, probably working the entire pregnancy, doesn't have the nutrients she needs while breastfeeding, returning to work 2 weeks after labor so probably no breastfeeding at all.What we should do with the data is to start looking for why and how to provide children with the conditions they need in order to reach their best potentials, not making such statements against X.

In public, yes. In private? No.My parents were of the opinion that most of the world was right and that US norms were wrong about alcohol consumption by minors.They allowed me to taste whatever they were drinking as soon as I was old enough to ask.When I first tried wine and beer (I think I was about four years old), I didn't like them. I didn't ask again until I was 11, when I discovered that I liked both white and red wines.My father was a gourmet cook and religiously paired his wines or beers with whatever he prepared; so there was always a discussion about whether or not we agreed with his pairings, and why (or not).Ultimately, in my mind, alcohol was always paired with food, or as an aperitif or consumed socially. Even though, as a child, I knew that some people abused alcohol or used it only for its effects, for some reason, it never occurred to me to try that myself until high school. Suffice to say, my parents’ reaction was a simple ‘ see, we told you’ and thereafter I always controlled my own intake.My wife and I did took the same approach with our daughter, who is now a non-abusing, successful 29-year-old.Caveats: This is my experience and is not intended as any sort of guidance on how to raise children. I am not a childcare professional nor any sort of expert. Make of it what you will.

Those things are probably not sufficient to make a formal report. Tardiness and dirty hair are not likely to be investigated by authorities. And children’s reports about their food intake can be highly unreliable. It is a concern that she was left alone at an event. If that was a school event, the school could report abandonment to authorities though. That was a little foggy to me though, because are you saying that you waited with her for two whole hours for her parents? Or did you bring her home with you and notify the parents? If it is the latter, you merely provided childcare when they were running late.You don’t really know the circumstances that may cause their tardiness; complex work schedules, poor planning, or inadequate transportation. If this is happening frequently, it sounds like you have become the default childcare provider. That would be something to discuss with them, as to whether you can arrange in advance to provide transportation or after-event supervision for the child. That would communicate your concern and model the appropriate parenting in the situation. Parents do teach other parents and they can do so in many cases without involving authorities. You would be demonstrating the standard of care —that children are not left unsupervised and without transportation, and that parents can ask each other for help. However, if you know that this kind of abandonment is ongoing, that the child is frequently left unsupervised, you can go ahead and make a call to Child Protection services about that.Regarding the hair, you say that the hair is often matted and oily, but not always. So apparently, they give this child a scrub down now and then. She may be one of those kids that puts a huge fuss up about shampooing and comb-outs, or she may have highly unmanageable hair that gets messy easily. Some parents will let the grooming go for a bit if the child is one that throws quite a battle. Or they may have a large family with one bathroom. But it doesn’t seem you are reporting that she is absolutely filthy and is never bathed or given adequate clothing. This may reflect a personal difference in grooming standards, but not really be a matter for the authorities.Regarding food, sometimes children will say they have not been fed, when they refused what was offered, or they will think they haven’t eaten or any number of things. If she doesn’t appear to be malnourished, then she is probably not being starved. I remember one setting that I worked in, where another teacher was horrified that a large family from a different ethnicity had oatmeal for dinner. Oatmeal is actually perfectly nutritious and it shouldn’t matter whether they had oatmeal for breakfast or dinner, but it didn’t sit right with the teacher. Clearly, having oatmeal for dinner is not a concern to be reported. I give this as an example of how different customs and cultural expectations can influence what we see as adequate parenting.So if you feel there are things to report, report. But if you think you can help by being supportive through asking them if you can help with childcare or transportation, try that first.
