[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm and MB, and I think it depends on what goes on at the playdates. My nanny likes to take DD on playdates with her friend's charges. It's great in theory, but what actually happens is that the kids have parallel independent play on the floor with the host child's toys while the nannies have lunch together. I don't have a problem with that because a nanny who gets to see other adults during the day will be much happier than one who doesn't, but I would prefer to see this type of playdate happen no more than once or twice per week. If the nannies were a little more creative about playdates--for example, by planning activities, leading games, initiating pretend play, reading, or planning outdoor meetups--I'd be okay with them doing it every day. I just think toddlers need a broader range of stimuli than they can get through parallel independent play with toys. [/quote] I agree. Once or twice a week seems about right.[/quote]
