Hi everyone.
I had an incident this morning which resulted in me calling the mum of one my mindees and advising her that I was giving her immediate termination notice. I advised I would take her child to school as it was only half an hour to go but that she would need to arrange other childcare from that point. I have also since spoken to dad and explained what had happened but am now trying to write their official termination letter and struggling.
The mindee in question (nearly 10YO) kicked me this morning, on purpose!
There have been a few issues for some time in regards to his attitude, lack of manners/respect (for example telling me to shut my mouth only a few weeks ago!) and although the parents have apparently been having words with him/ 'grounding' him, he sadly hasnt changed anything. This morning, after asking him to leave the room due to his behaviour, he became very aggresive and rude. He then moved the cushion/wind block thing from the front door and sat on it. I asked him to not to sit on it & put it back as the dog lays next to/on it so would be covered in Lab fur which wouldnt be good to go to school full of. Twice he ignored me, not even making eye contact. I asked a third time while I bent down to put my hand on the cushion ready to move it once he got up but instead he kicked me in the shin. My husband then asked him if he had just kicked me and he responded with 'yeah!' in a 'am I bothered' type of way!
Now my questions are, although I have told dad exactly what happened, do I put all of this in the termination letter or not? Do I attach another copy of my behaviour policy to the letter? (theyve had a copy anyway but just incase). Do I use the words violent behaviour or physical abuse? can anyone help?
This whole situation is naff :((
