[quote=Anonymous]Hello all!  I have been a nanny for about 8 years and for the first time I am at the end of my rope.  I have 2 charges, one all day and the other after school.  The older child is the situation I need help with.  He is simply not listening.  They are minor things, but consistent!  The problem is that there is not proper follow through with him.  Plenty of warnings and threats, no follow through!  I only have him 10 hours a week.  I am at the point where I really don't care what he does.  You don't want to do your chores, fine. You don't want to do your homework, fine.  You don't want to do your reading, fine.  You don't want to shut the door behind you, not even when asked to do so? Fine, do whatever the hell you want!  I do not spend enough time with him to make an impact and cannot think of consequences that can be implemented (that he would care about) during the time I am with him.  I have thought about earning a special reward at the end of a good week, but with his younger sister, I just don't have the flexibility to do stuff with him after school.  Plus, he wouldn't care if he didn't get the reward.  He just wants to be the boss, that is reward enough.  And he is WINNING! I am feeling very frustrated and don't know what to do! [/quote]
