[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anonymous Any idea how many sitters/nannies she's already had? She's had 5 Au pairs in the last 4 years:([/quote] Poor kid. I au paired for some kids who went through the same revolving au pair door and they were really difficult to bond with. As expected. Move slow, don't push her, but take an interest in what she likes and make that a central part of your time together. If she likes to read, don't sit on your phone or do chores, sit and read a YA novel in the living room with her. If she is missing out on a maternal figure, think about whether she'd like to try nail polish or learn how to do her makeup? I still remember the day my mom's friend took me to get my first powder foundation. I was 12. My mom never wore makeup and this friend really stepped in to help me feel more comfortable as a preteen who didn't really know what girls my age were doing. Good luck![/quote]
