[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. My employers and I agree about children and help... A child who can do something on their own doesn't need an adult to do it for them. If they can't do it for themselves, they need to practice until they can, but it's the adult's job not to push the child too far. For us, this means not putting children onto any structure they can't navigate on their own. I'm happy to hover within arms reach while they climb, but they need to be able to climb up and down on their own. I do not respond to children screaming for help on structures. I've seen my charges do that, many times, and I don't want to count how many people I've stopped from lifting them down. If they climb up, they can climb or slide down, they just don't want to do it.[/quote]
