[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. 18 months old is too young (IMO) for time out. I watch like a hawk and quickly take (grab, if necessary) my charge's hand and say "gentle." If you focus on negatives "no pinching!" the child focuses on negatives versus focusing on the desired behavior. 18 month old toddlers can vary between just starting to walk up through running and climbing. With a child who is big and active, but not of an age that they understand cause-effect yet, you have to be on your toes and right next to them. It sounds to me that OP's child is normally developing, though nanny and parents need to be on the same page to stop unwanted behaviors. It's possible that the nanny simply can't handle this child and needs to move on.[/quote]
