[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do the parents say about the behavior?
If my kid was treating my Nanny like this there would be some serious consequences. Its downright rude.[/quote]

The parents are aware of most of the behavior. MB works from home some days so she sees it first hand on occasion. Parents have trouble as well with this particular child. She challenges them less than me, but they definitely see some of what I see. Although there are some negative behaviors they see that I don't so I guess it evens out in the end.

When I end up giving a negative report they give her a disappointed look, express their disappointment verbally, and remind her that using her listening ears is important/making good choices is important/etc…. To my knowledge there are no additional consequences beyond what she has already received with me during the day. They do back me up when they are present for her challenging behavior, but no double jeopardy as far as I am aware. She still gets tv, desert, etc… when she has had a tough day with me. Although some days she ends up having a tough evening with MB and DB as well and ends up with a consequence for that.

She is largely unaffected by consequences so far. She might cry for one minute, and then is over it. If anything it just makes her angry and resentful (mostly towards me). Focusing just on positive behaviors only increased the negative ones (and caused a ripple affect with a couple siblings) during the six to eight weeks we tried that tactic. We had to abandon that because she was just a disaster and her siblings wanted little to do with her. Siblings are 7, 2.5, and 9 months.[/quote]
