[quote=Anonymous]I have actually sat in the shade with one of my MB's, chatted and we have watched the children (who are 2) play independently. The playgrounds we go to the seating is normally right near the equipment. If the child comes up to me and wants to play I get up, and if the child walks to another end of the playground, I follow them. I do interact with them but if they are playing with each other or other children, I sit back and watch- if we are at a big kid playground with big equipment (or a lot of older kids) then I move around/ stay close. We also play a lot together and do a lot of activities when in the house, so I give them this time to run around and be free. My charges are very vocal (and independent) if they need water, food or help, they will come to me (or call out) and if I feel they have gone to long without water, I call them over and may have them sit in the shade for a while to cool down. Its nothing wrong with sitting in the shade or taking a break to cool off and or take a drink or snack- If we pass out, who will care for the children? I'm just saying. If the nanny is not in sight, ran across the street or texting not paying attention, then that's an issue. Or, if the child is asking for nanny to play with them and nanny ignores the child, that's a problem too. But staying cool, while the children are playing, independently, and not crying, misbehaving or hurt, there is no harm in that. [/quote]
