[quote=Anonymous]Hmmm... I am a very well-paid nanny and I "engage" my charge all day long. It is exhausting. When my charge was young, I would follow his cues and disengage when he looked away from me but didn't leave him or go do something else. Engagement isn't talking at a child 24/7 but I never touched him without telling him what I was going to do or doing. Even as an infant, we had a nice schedule of classes, walks and reading (I believe in reading to my charges for at least on hour a day - broken up, of course, into 10 minute segments). Since about 12 months, we started adding play dates to our schedule. Engagement is wonderful. I am one of those irritating women in the Whole Foods who talk about how read the apple is or ask how many oranges we should buy! Teaching a child is a full time job, OP. Don't let anyone tell you differently. Good luck. [/quote]
