[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you handled it fine, OP. In the future, I would avoid holding on to his wrist like that if possible but if my choices are my kid running in to traffic or his nanny grabbing his wrist and leaving a bruise, I'm obviously going with the second option.

Personally, when tantrums get to the point where you need to just leave wherever you are, I skip the hand/wrist holding and skip straight to picking them up and carrying them.[/quote]

MB here and I agree with this.  I would not accuse you of abusing my child in this situation.  I would, however, take it as a serious wake-up call that we need to figure out ways to address his behavior more effectively and safely so that you aren't put in a position like this again without having a plan for dealing with it.

My kids aren't this old yet, but just this week I was talking w/ our nanny about how we'd like to handle tantrums, time-outs, etc...   So I would encourage you to try to get the parents actively work on an approach that they choose to try to get his behavior more under control.

Good for you for telling the MB right away.  I am sure that she knew you had acted in good faith and never with the intent to harm him.  As a mother I certainly understand why sometimes you just have to haul the kid up and get them out of there.  Things happen.[/quote]
