[quote=Anonymous]The eldest boy I just started working with (age 5 1/2) displays lots of defiant behavior, still has tantrums (which can easily escalate to him hitting, kicking, scratching and biting), and often talks very disrespectfully.

DB is occasionally home, and sometimes when we are all in the kitchen together and I am interacting with the child it can escalate to the child being very rude to me. For example, if I have to tell him he can't have what he wants...just today he said to me right in front of the father "If you don't give me what then I'm going to be bad forever." And more disrespectful talk.

Since dad is right there, I usually back down and expect him to step in. He never does. He doesn't say anything to the boy and pretends it didn't happen, which makes me uncertain if I should step up either. I feel like he is expecting me to correct him,  but I don't feel that is appropriate when a parent is right there. Who should correct the child in these situations - nanny or dad? [/quote]
