[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't necessarily call ripping + breaking things "normal" toddler behavior. Nor is not listening to what you say to him. You need to dress to his parents the importance of his behavior & how difficult it is dealing w/it. Tell them it is a major issue for you to be dealing w/it and that they NEED to talk to him about it and also punish him on a consistent basis when he misbehaves so often. It is simply unfair to the other child you are watching to have to focus so much time/energy on their child. If they honestly don't "get it" after you telling them all of this, thenbI would re-think working for them anymore. Good luck.[/quote] She says the child is "becoming mobile". So, presumably a young toddler, 12 - 18 months or so. Ripping books is quite normal at this age. Breaking things would only happen if someone gave the child something breakable. That's why board books exist. Talking to an 18 month old and punishing them for something that happened hours ago would be entirely futile. How nanny responds in the 30 seconds after an incident is what will make a change in the behavior.[/quote]
