[quote=Anonymous]We are in a nanny share with another family we adore. Both of our boys are six months old and we've been pleased with how our nanny handles their care. She is very good at their feeding, changing and sleep schedule and getting them out of the house for fresh air each day. One thing that she has not been good about is addressing our boys social and emotional needs. We have asked her to read to our boys daily and engage them in developmentally appropriate play. For example, we provided her with an infant and toddler activity book and have asked her to do different activities with the boys, like take them to the library for story time or singalongs. One thing I asked her to do was to introduce them to other textures in these touch and feel books. Another activity was to play peek-a-boo, have the boys follow objects and hide them, alternate snapping, play with bottles that have different materials (sand, sequins, liquid). She hasn't been consistent about doing these things. I realize that going to the library with two little ones is difficult, but I really want to make sure that my son isn't just hanging out on a play mat or in an exersaucer not being engaged. How would you bring this up? Would it be inappropriate to ask her to attend an infant and toddler workshop for continuing professional development?[/quote]
