[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should check in with the parents about your goals.  They may say to just read a half hour in the morning and a half hour in the afternoon and give her water to sip during reading time but otherwise don't push water.  Or they may say actually, we don't think it's developmentally appropriate at this age to push reading so just play with her and only read if she initiates it.

I prefer that our nanny check in with us about once a month regarding what they see as strengths and deficits, and that way we're all on the same page.[/quote]

Are you initiating that cknversation?  Ime, parents aren't that interested in the day-to-day things like whether the nanny wants to encourage a few more ounces of water each day or increase reading time by 5-15 minutes.  And I have yet to have a single employer who wanted a long conversation (10+ minutes) at least once per month, unless there were big issues and we were all brainstorming before bringing ideas to the table.[/quote]
