[quote=Anonymous]This is a spin off of the thread with the nanny who won’t physically block her 3 and 5yo charges from running away from her into the parents’ home office. Another nanny posted that she also never physically touches a child.

Are other nannies seriously not physically intervening with problem behavior in young children?  I am not talking about spanking or anything punitive, just physically using your body to block a child from something dangerous or off-limits or with younger children picking them up and moving them to a different space to redirect?  I do this all day with my 2, 3 and 5 yo charges.  They all have times they don’t listen and moving them away from the situation is usually stage one of helping them to calm down and make a better choice.  The 5yo is starting to be able to listen and step away from a tough situation on his own but honestly that is still only some of the time and at least once a week I have to physically put my body between him and a sibling or the tv remote or some other thing that he is interacting with in a way that is dangerous or just not allowed.[/quote]
