A home daycare provider has terminated care for a child after his mother insisted he brings a tablet to the daycare despite a no-electronics policy. The provider has a rule that parents should not make her the bad guy and should back her up when rules are broken. The mother of the child, who is three years old, claimed that her son needed the tablet, but the daycare provider refused to accommodate her request. Despite several attempts to reason with the mother, the child continued to bring the tablet and cry when it was taken away.
The daycare provider eventually terminated the child's enrollment, causing the mother to break down in tears. The provider's husband believes she was too strict and should have accommodated the mother's request, but many are questioning whether the mother was being unreasonable or if the daycare provider overreacted by firing the child. What do you think?
