[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need a different job.  With kids this age you do sometimes have to use physical force.  I am not talking about hurting them or being violent, but picking them up and moving them to a different area or physically blocking them from leaving the room they are supposed to be in.  The fact that you have no strategies other than bribing them or giving up tells me you are probably not experienced.

At the same time, this family seems kind of high-maintenance and controlling.  You would probably be more successful with a more flexible family who has a baby and no big kids.[/quote]

I absolutely disagree w/the above answer.
Using physical force on a child that does not belong to you is just asking for trouble.

If you put your hands on someone else’s child, however benignly then you are opening up a can of worms.
If a child resists & twists and turns, then you can leave red marks.
And w/kids that young - they will tell other adults that you used force, embellishing the truth as kids are known to do.

I used to work in a preschool and during our training/orientation we were clearly instructed never to use force on any of our students.
Too much liability involved.

It is up to the parents to get their kids to listen ➕ obey other adults.
If they cannot do so then this is on the parents, not the Nanny or babysitter.
No exceptions.[/quote]
