[quote=Anonymous]For some families, mine included, independent play is encouraged - which does in fact mean leaving the child alone for small periods of time. At 1.5 years, I think 10-15 minutes of happy, independent play sounds developmentally normal and good. Perhaps your nanny is making a conscience decision to encourage this skill? If your child is crying and it takes the nanny 10-15 minutes to appear and respond, then that's different. I would expect that the nanny uses those 10-15 minutes to prep a snack, clean up breakfast, etc and she should be within earshot and able to respond immediately when needed. [/quote]
