[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have OCD ( actually diagnosed, not just anal about things) and it doesnt affect me being a good Nanny. Its like the other PP said, We still paint and do messy things, I just am super organized before we start as far as having paper down, wipes handy, brushes and paint all out before I get the kids to the table. I wouldnt worry about your Nanny OP unless you see it affecting her quality of life.[/quote] Yes but this is quite strange, the children are ushered to and from an activity without being involved in the whole thing. Wiping hands constantly, making sure things are not out of place etc. OCD does effect the child, children learn from watching, and mimicking behaviors. Would you let your charges practice skills spontaneously or does it have to be planned? Poring their own drink, setting up an art project, carrying dishes to the sink. All of theses are great for autonomy, and life skills. Most with OCD would find the act of watching a child learn these things painful and avoid them. My DH's mother did thus to him, he now struggles with the same things. [/quote]
