[quote=Anonymous]Not a MB, but I'll chime in as a nanny.

Can you approach MB from the standpoint of mentioning behavior/attention concerns you have? Whenever I have a concern about one of my charges I usually approach MB from that angle. Back in the fall I went to MB with a major concern, and said something along the lines of, "I've been noticing DC doing X lately. It started off occasionally a couple months ago, but I've noticed the frequency increasing. Have you observed this?" She started paying attention and realized that it needed to be addressed. Charge is now getting the help he needs. (Just to be clear MB is very involved and observant, but hadn't realized that what she occasionally saw was increasing or completely abnormal at first.)

Be careful not to diagnosis your charge, but bring up concerns in a way that lets your MB know that you have a concern that you'd like her to start watching for in her child. Maybe you could start documenting observations so that you have concrete evidence of your concerns. Good luck. These things are never easy.[/quote]
