[quote=Anonymous]I've noticed that (sometimes, not too often) when I'm at a class or playgroup and a mother realizes that I'm not L/O's mother but his nanny they start to get all involved with L/O.  They start talking to him, telling him what to do and whatnot, like I'm not even there.  L/O is shy but I know that if I use positive [i]encouragement[/i] and [i]patience[/i] and not force that he will warm up and get himself involved when he feels comfortable.  But at class the other day a mother put her hand on his back and tried to guide him closer to the center of the group, which basically just confused him (he's two) and made him way less interested in joining in. She also offered snacks without even looking at me for an OK, and tried to get him to dance more wildly like her child (I was proud he was even making an attempt to dance with a bunch of strangers!) I know I'm ranting and venting here, but it just annoys me because I know they wouldn't do this if I was indeed his mother and not the nanny.  [/quote]
