[quote=Anonymous]MB's cousin lives 25 minutes away from them and has a child in close age to my charge. This child is hyper active and doesn't listen very well. I don't correct her because its not my place. The nanny does a good job at setting boundaries but the parents, (I've noticed when I've been around them) they don't work on correcting her hyperactive behavior. For example, they don't want her to jump on furniture but all they tell her is 'don't jump on furniture', they hardly give her timeouts. So when they want the nanny to follow ther protocol and not allowing 'Susie' to jump on furniture, the nanny does double duty making sure consequences are put in if she doesn't listen. So the nanny is the only to really correct her disruptive behavior. She's loud and a little too aggressive, so sometimes when we half play dates half of it is spent on her nanny correcting her behavior. She has gotten better about boundaries, but she's still too much for me to be around for a period of time. I guess my own fault is I can't handle being around a hyper active kid for too long, it drives me bonkers. But her parents don't help becaus ether don't work on correcting her behavior -when she pushes too much, or talks too loud at library or does not listen to re-directing. We don't see her all the time, BUTshe is my charge's family so we won't stop seeing her. Have you ever dealt with not being too fond of your charges? I feel terrible for even saying this but I just find her behavior irritating. In small doses I can deal with it but I know due or holidays she will be around more often and I'm trying to work on find a proactive way of dealing with it. [/quote]
