Nannies who don't know how to discipline children/ crazy nanny.

[Anonymous]

I'm a nanny who think of a child as an un-experience individual in term of that some times young children make mistake or behave negative because they don't have much experience in a particular area or may forget what is being touch previously. So, children need a person who can guide behaviors to encourage positive social skills as need it.

I saw a nanny kicking a Two years old because he kicked another child in the playground. I was surprise to see such a way of discipline to a child and wander if I'm too sensitive toward how to guide children or If the nanny was correct? Would a child fix or change a negative behavior if his/her caregiver model negative punishment?

Kicking a child is abuse, it needs to be reported to the parents and the police.

No you don't keep kick a child. You don't kick anyone.

A little kick never hurt anyone, it's not abuse. I kick and hit my child when he hits me, it teaches him to be careful with his hands and body around larger people.

You have got to be on drugs. Let me say this clearly IT IS NEVER OKAY FOR A NANNY TO KICK OR HIT A CHILD. A teacher cannot do it, a daycare worker cannot do it and a nanny cannot do it.

And if you are reported to CPS for discipling your child by kicking them, you get to defend your discipline. You are not a nanny, hopefully. When someone OTHER THAN A PARENT inflicts any physical hurt or harm on a child, it is definitely something that needs to be reported to CPS.

Nonsense. Nannies are people the parents pay to care for and teach the child. And a nanny can be arrested for hitting or kicking a child!

op here, I was surprise to see such of act of discipline a toddler/ child. I could see that the nanny felt helpless and could not think of an alternative other than make the child feel that a "kick" hurt.

I would approach different, first I would madel an apology for the victim and then, I would remove the aggressor from the " playground". I would converse, telling him that when we use our feet to hurt other people, is wrong and we can't play any more.

Although, physician punishment is legal in some state, it's an old traditional approach that is not effective or positive for reshaping behavior.

Your posting was a little tough to comprehend, but overall I think you are asking if it is okay to use any form of physical punishment when working as a nanny.

In a nutshell, NO.

Too much liability there. That is the parent's job.
