[quote=Anonymous]Hi, this is OP. Agree with pp. Nannies have responsibilities that go beyond of "do as you're told". 
My charge is almost 8. When he was 4 he had sensory issues to which behavioral therapy has helped him overcome. He has stopped therapy about 2 years ago. For the past year he has been displaying excessive disruptivness, major lack of focus, can't stop his body for no activity (homework, meals, watching tv etc). Attention is a major challenge and he gets sidetracked by the most ridiculous or random things and I know this is out of his control. He needs to be in constant movement or touching things even when seriousness is expected. He will burst out in the middle of serious things like, if we are reading a report, he will interrup and say "excuse me, do you know so and so went to the bathroom today in school and yadda yadda yadda" like, he'll interrupt me for not any important reason. He won't listen to instructions like "stop what you're doing" unless repeated a lot of times. He argues me down right about anything and everything during the day. All of that while kicking balls, running, "practicing karate", jumping, throwing himself, climbing etc. I swear he must have a little engine somewhere in his body and it's always revving!!

I think mom sees it coming but is not with them enough time for the signs to actually sink in. I do believe he would tremendously benefit from therapy again, even if it is not ADHD it is something he needs to learn how to cope these behaviors because it can lead to other things later on in life. Obviously it is not my call but I will bring it up as I have a concern and any professional nanny is responsible to voice their opinions and help the kids (and the parents on the same token!). I just obviously don't want to offend her (my mb) if she is maybe in a totally different page!  [/quote]
