I'm not including the paragraphs that suggested we get professional help. Or the one that said an occupational therapist might be able to prescribe a "sensory diet." Names have been changed to protect the innocent.
[K**** said he did try to bite A**** on the finger today, but it didn’t leave a mark. She didn’t write it up, and I’m not going to count it as one of his three “chances”. I have let her know that if he bites at school, he has to be picked up, and after three occurrences, he won’t be able to come back. I really hope it doesn’t get that far. You know I really love Ross; we all do. It seems to me like a very severe consequence, but I have to make sure the other children are safe. I can’t put the church in a position of liability.
We remain open to any other suggestions you might have to help Ross get through this difficult time. He is a smart, sweet boy, and we will do anything we can to help him (and you two).]

Ugh...just the letter you wanted to get to REALLY make your day. How in the heck does a daycare worker have time to write seven paragraphs about kids being...kids? When I worked in daycare I can reassure you I was doing good to keep eveeryone fed, hugged, and changed.
seems like 3 chances is kind of harsh! i think my nephew did more biting than that and so did most of the kids in his class! it just happens!
