[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to straighten this out with the nanny immediately.  If she can't explain why she wasn't telling you about what is happening and/or she can't explain what she's doing to teach your child not to bite and to keep the other child safe, you need to find a new nanny, possibly a new share.[/quote]  you are hilarious! [b]that is not a nannys job to discipline the child....The people give him a birth  are  responsible for his behavior. They  need to sit talk to their child..[/b] ^^^ [/quote]

Excuse me?  Any caregiver, whether childcare teacher, preschool teacher, parent or nanny's JOB is to guide and discipline the child - to help them learn to develop positive behaviors, control themselves and their urges, and to use their words, not be aggressive, be a good friend, etc.

Of COURSE it's the nanny's job!  It's also the parent's job, the teacher's job, etc.

So funny.  Now, this doesn't mean the nanny spanks or hits - but displines isn't about hitting/spanking it's about teaching a child what to do instead or better, and to learn to do that thing, to replace the anti-social hitting, biting, kicking, pinching, spitting behaviors to using words, taking a deep breath, counting to 5, walking away, etc.

Saying No biting" and removing the child from the situation might be appropriate.  Also saying "No biting, tell Larla that was your doll" would also be appropriate.  Not allowing the kids to hug and wrestle when that turns into biting would also be appropriate.  All of that is guidance and discipline.  [/quote]
