[quote=Anonymous]By 3 and 4 I've found that kids are generally old enough to understand WHY you and their mom have different rules. Especially considering most of these are safety concerns, and ones that a parent may reasonably be willing to risk with their child, but a nanny won't. So after asking them to stop and getting the "but mom lets us!" response, I usually say something along the lines of "I know mommy may allow this, but sometimes mommies and nannies have different rules, and while you're with me, you are not allowed to do X." I find that it's actually a pretty important lesson to be learning, as it happens pretty frequently that in different social environments the rules DO change (ie. you wouldn't expect every single rule they have at home to apply at kindergarten or vice versa), so the more adaptable they learn to be, the better.[/quote]
