[quote=Anonymous]My 2.5yo charge has been saying/signing "please" since before he was 1 anytime he asks for anything. We also have a rule that one toy comes out and goes away before others come out (within reason of course - if he builds a racetrack with his magnatiles he can get some cars out to run on them or Legos to build tunnels with, but no puzzles or art projects for example). Because these have been messaged clearly and consistently by both me and his parents since he was very young I almost never have to remind him anymore - he starts singing the cleanup song on his own when he's ready to switch activities. It sounds like your nanny needs to be strict right now because you haven't taught these things - rest assured that once he learns, she will be able to relax more. Do them both a favor and hold your son to the same firm expectations; you want a polite and tidy child who takes responsibility for themselves. And yes, my charge has been clearing his own dishes, putting out all the napkins, and picking up dropped chunks of food for the trash since he could walk steadily. Kids LOVE responsibility and being challenged to do more. Seriously.[/quote]
