[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have to assume from reading what you wrote OP, that the nanny most likely used a louder and more firm voice while your daughter was not listening (you have said that she has been acting up recently) and that is what your daughter took as yelling (many kids can not differentiate the 2).

I think that the pinch thing is most likely just made up, especially since the story changed with daughter asking nanny to not pinch her and nanny saying no. I think that was just part of her changing attitude of lately. As you said your baby is 6 months old, your older daughter is most likely trying to still figure out her role in your lives as well as the baby's and testing out ways of getting more attention as babies tend to take over most of that from the parents.

I think you just need to talk to your nanny about ways that you both can show that the older child is still getting lots of POSITIVE attention, make sure that nanny is not yelling but using a more stern voice instead for times when needed, and just try and work out any stress that all parties involved might have due to the behavior.[/quote]

Yes, I agree also.  Your daughter may be a lovely child, but she is definitely at an age where creative imaginations, hurt feelings, etc... can lead to seriously embellished or imagined events.  I would give you nanny the MAJOR benefit of the doubt, especially given her tenure with you, your knowledge of her approach having been at home for a time, etc...

Obviously you can't possibly share the full context of a situation in a single post, but given what little I know here I would frankly assume the nanny did absolutely nothing wrong and your daughter is just going through an understandably tough adjustment.[/quote]
