[quote=Anonymous]Is this standard? Our nanny is great and has lots of experience with kids. I've noticed that she can get DC to open her mouth for teeth brushing when DH and I can't as well as get DC to lie quietly on the changing table when she thrashes around for DH and me. DC is only 16 months old. Nanny also has a self-described "nanny bag of tricks" to do things like get DC to eat more - she counts her green beans (example) and tells DC that "number seven" is her favorite and turns her back for a second. DC will then eat "number seven" and wait for nanny to turn back and howl in laughter at the nanny's overblown reaction to "number seven" being gone. Repeat counting and another favorite number seven... until DC has finished her green beans. So my questions: Is it normal for such a young toddler to have different behavior with her parents than her nanny? And can I steal nanny's "bits" to get DC to do what I want her to do? [/quote]
