[quote=Anonymous]Mother of 2.5 yr old twins here.

I don't really worry about "TEACHING" happening with my kids.  They'll go to preschool and school eventually and will get plenty of organized instruction there.  I expect our nanny to keep our kids active, entertained, challenged, clean, well-fed and safe.

The teaching I care about, happens as a result of play and daily activities.  Our nanny is teaching them to clean up after themselves, to have decent table manners, to take turns, to not run into the road, to put their laundry in the basket, to clean up spills, to sweep, etc...  For fun she takes them on excursions, has playdates w/ other nannies and kids in the area, plays music and sings/dances with them, plays w/ crayons/playdough/bubbles/blocks/etc...

I want my kids to have fun, to be exposed to new things, and to learn basic rules of behavior and interaction.  I'm not worried about them having any sort of scheduled learning time at this stage.

I have a hunch I might fall more towards the laid-back approach on the spectrum of concern about these issues so you might have a different level of expectation.

The important thing is that your nanny is able to carry out and supportive of your parenting preferences, not so much what other parents do.[/quote]
