[quote=Anonymous][i]PP here and no.  My nephew is a very, very bright but sensitive and well behaved boy and only 23 months old.  He has been home with a loving nanny who reads to him about two hours a day which he loves - and older books for four and five year olds.  This is a smart kid.  He is also small for his age.  My brother and SIL decided to send him to a big, franchised daycare for 8 hours a day at least and fire his nanny "to toughen him up".  I am opposed to everything about this plan but mostly his motivation.  I am a school psychologist and consultant for the top DC private preschools and I know this is a mistake.

I was a jerk to lose it on my SIL when she told me.  Now I do want to talk to my SIL and brother about this calmly.  And we are close - my brother's family and mine - having kids the same age and shuttling between each others houses for holidays and often evening date-night care.

I feel I have to say something.   [/i]

Is this the same poster? If so, lots of people in the nanny forum have given her a lot of advice. [/quote]
