[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started nannying for a new family a few months ago, and the 5 yo is a terror. I don't think he's really had limits--bad behavior is usually discussed to find the root, but there aren't usually tangible consequences. His older sister is pretty well-behaved, so I think MB thought that the same discipline would work with the 5 yo. He's had a rough adjustment to Kindergarten, and is usually pretty tired/grumpy/on the verge of a meltdown when I pick them up from school. Recently we've had some really troubling behavior--running in parking lots (he darted in front of a car today and I had to grab him) and hitting especially. He had a total meltdown when I told him we weren't walking to the car until we held hands because he was acting unsafe. He refused to walk to the car and I had to call his mom. She tried to speak to him on the phone and he took off through the store we were in and ran laps around the aisles way out of sight of me with my phone. I basically had to tackle him to get the phone back and ask my MB to come get him. I would be out of here in a heartbeat if I didn't really care for the kids and really like my MB. MB is at the end of her rope and open to suggestions, but how do I bring up that he needs consequences for behavior like this respectfully? I don't think this is normal behavior for this age group but I'm not sure. I'd appreciate any advice you have.[/quote] I honestly, and I say this out of respect and courtesy, think that you should quit.[/quote]
