[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should cross post this on the s/n board. Striking a nanny or babysitter is OTT for a tween/teen (even with ADHD - my tween & teen both have that) but being on the spectrum makes it different.

My gut reaction is that the relationship is not salvageable and I would look for another nanny. Some teachers/nannies/caregivers/grandparents etc have a hard time with middle school aged kids with s/n. It is a difficult age and the nanny may be great but the fit is not good between your 12 yr old and her.   [/quote]

Maybe, but the child will likely have problems with future caregivers as well. So even if you do change nannies, OP, make sure to discipline child and tell child it was physical assault, with potential serious consequences. We all make mistakes but slapping an adult is something quite serious. Also, alongside discipline, bring child closer to you and ask her what she needs. I do worry about children who exhibit depression/anger.[/quote]

+1 Slapping in the face is crossing a line for a 12 year old and next time this happens to someone the cops may be involved.[/quote]
