[quote=Anonymous]I'm an MB and I would want you to talk with me about it.  The way I'd ideally like to have my nanny handle something like that would be to ask if we could talk without Johnny around some time - just to touch base, etc...  And then to say "I've been noticing a few things behaviorally and was wondering if you've seen the same kinds of things.  It seems like Johnny might be having a hard time w/ focussing or sitting still (or whatever the main couple of things are).  I know boys are rambunctious so a lot of this may be normal, but some of it seems like he might be having a harder time managing his emotions or energy level. "   Then see how she/I respond(s).  If she's receptive you could say that you know the behavioural therapy really helped him in the past, maybe there are a couple of easy things we could try to help him now before it becomes serious.

Basically, take a gentle approach so she doesn't feel challenged or threatened.  (A mother's capacity for guilt and self-blame can never be underestimated - even if she doesn't seem like the type.)

Hopefully she'll welcome your attention, concern for her son, and good intentions.  I would.

Good luck.  And good for you for raising the issue and thinking about it so thoughtfully.[/quote]
