Why would anyone want to encourage an obsession over clothing sizes at such a young age? I can't believe that babysitter did that! That father is so right to put that on those clothes tags.

This babysitter was SO out of line. (I also have a daughter who's small for her age, and if the woman who cares for her gave me any lip about her wearing size 12-months at age 27 months, I'd be royally pissed. And if she said it to my daughter instead of to me . . . ? GRRRR!) I loved your solution and wish I could've seen her face when she saw your notes. Your post here actually raises my only concern: was it okay with your daughter that you responded this way? After all, she did ask you not to say anything (poor baby). Oh, daddy, I am with you.

Now that's what I look for in a child-care provider! __ Obsesses about things that are none of her business, such as my kid's clothing size? Check! __ Is totally ignorant about basics such as what <i>is</i> the correct size for a child? Check! __ Leans on a small child instead of communicating concerns to her parents? Check!

Your little girl has a good daddy. Ah! Well the information that you/she were about to change child care does alter things a bit.

Yes she eats, like a horse, but we are outside a lot being very active. As for the story - I talked to my daughter and she did not want me to say anything, because it would make it worse. She had a few more days there before she went to other care. I do listen to my child when they ask about certian things. This seemed like the time I made an adult decision and did not verbally say anything and at the same time let the sitter know what she was doing was not acceptable. When my daughter got into the car that afternoon I asked if anything happened. She asked my why I wrote on the tags - that the sitter saw the writing. I explained to her that I listend to her about not saying anything. I also said that if she is having problems and she does not want us to say anything, that we will still do something to show her that I support her and her emotional well being. The child has clothes that fit her and even in her size 5 they do not fit, she still needs size 4 and 3 in some cases. There have been no other issues with her age and the tags. My daughter was in tears one time at my parents house trying to rip the tags off her clothes. That was when we had a talk and that was also the first time I or her mother heard of this happening. So for all of you that have children you understand the trust that you need to develop with your children. If I would have not listened to her and talked to the sitter, then that would have broken the trust a little. What happens when she is older and you need to depend on the trust you built when they are young. As for the "sitter" we have not talked to them in almost 2 years because of this incident and now they have 2 daughter - Karma - it will come back to bite them in the future...
