[quote=Anonymous]The nanny could have been friendlier. But the thing is, sometimes with behavior like that, all it takes is one little kid doing it, and then suddenly there are a bunch of other kids in the mix who think it's the funniest thing to be throwing blocks around. And maybe one little kid throwing soft blocks far away from anyone else is okay, but when a bunch of kids get the idea and begin hurling them, it's mayhem. I wouldn't be too offended and I don't think it needed to be a confrontation. She's just probably a blunt person and you and your child just happened to be in her path this time around.

Also... I would just like to remark that for everyone who thinks her child is extraordinarily active and rambunctious, spirited and so forth, it's possible that you are right, but it is also possible that it is the fact that you rather consistently do not intervene and help direct your child to behave appropriately, both at home and in public, that is the major difference. And yes, it's tiring when they're very young, but that stage doesn't last forever and it pays off tenfold when they are older. (I am not extraordinarily strict. I would not have removed my child in that situation, not immediately: I would instead have gone over and said, "I'm going to build a tractor! VROOM VROOM! Where's the barn? Can you build the barn?" or something similar, for a young child or one who is especially defiant. Someone a little more easygoing could also hear the message, "We don't throw things in the playroom," without hearing, "THROW THINGS IN THE PLAYROOM!"  :wink: )[/quote]
