[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn't clear if the parents are aware of the problem though. I worked for a family who preferred the children not to be on screens throughout the day, but allowed them screen time at the end of the day when they got home, because they both worked demanding jobs with gruelling schedules. Having the kids on gadgets allowed them time to relax and regroup. Perhaps this is a similar situation?

Say to MB/DB: 'You wanted the kids to spend time doing things, but I am having a hard time prising them off their gadgets. Do you have any suggestions?... Here are some of mine'. Chances are they'd be willing to go on board with your suggestions, as there's little work left for them to do but say 'listen to the nanny'.

Good luck!

This! And the PP's suggestion about set times for screens and losing the later turn if there's any arguing about it prior. Talk to the parents, let them know you're on board with limited screen time  (honestly, kids adapt to different rules with different people so long as YOU are consistent when you're there) but that you've been having a hard time with it and how would they feel about you implementing the system outlined above. Then ask if they have other suggestions or ideas for how to manage this. I'll bet they're on board as soon as you tell them the plan.

Good luck![/quote]
