Jounal 6

1.The confidentiality code was violated with the mother when the director from the old facility gave out information about the family to the new facility. Also when the teacher posted the information sheet up on the wall to have the mom fill out was a violation as well. talking about the mother's child to other parent can cause the parent's not to like the Eric or his mother.2. Confidentiality code with the child was violated when the teacher diagnose the child with a disability. We are caregivers and not doctors. That is why the information given from the other center cause the teacher's to look at the negative behavior in Eric without given him a chance.3. I do not think their should have been any kind of discussion at all between the two director's because i feel like if that if the old director does not like that child she is going to give out negative information to the new director about the family and child and the new director is going to have a negative opinion about the child and his family.4. I feel like the meeting should be between the director, teacher and parent. This will allow the parent to provide information about her child and to see if the parent and center can come up with a plan to meet the child's needs.5/6. I think the teacher should have introduced Eric to the class and encourage his classmates to play with him. Also I would have let him eat the sandwich, remind the parent that the center does not allow any outside foods and refer her back to the parent handbook. I wold also allow Eric to have a sleep toy during nap; some children need security away from home. I feel that the teachers conversation at the restaurant was unprofessional. You should not discuss family situation  from the jobs using names at any time or place.8. There should not be any type of conversation about the families and children in your facility because it is breaking confidentiality. 9. As a Director I would not have called the other center about Eric. I would bring that family into my facility as a new experience. I would sit down with the family and let the parents inform me any information the center may need in order to meet Eric needs. I would remind the family that we have a op-en door policy so if they have any concerns they could always come and talk to the teacher or myself. I feel that the teacher should build a relationship with the parent.10. If I was Eric's mother I would not leave my child in that center because I would not feel that he would be treated fairly. He was not given a fair chance from the beginning. Also when i pick him up all I receive a negative report and a diagnose about my child. 11. I would find Eric a center that has not prejudged him and that i along with the facility can find a way to work together to meet his needs. I would also want to feel that Eric and myself is wanted into the program.
