[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have tried all the nanny tricks  to manage tantrums I know.

I do not expect perfection or model behavior all the time.

I do expect to be treated with respect and not like the servant or have  violent behavior directed toward me.

I do expect to be working towards the goal of appropriate ways of expressing emotions.

My biggest issue is with the parents I do not feel they have my back or at least willing to work with me.

I've tamed some terrible fit throwers but I worked with the parents as a team.

I did have a heart to heart with them today and asked them to talk with each other and see where we want to go I am willing to  work together on the behavior and  give it a try but they I need them to be  100% honest  about their expectations and not say one thing  to me and when I try and enforce it not support me.

So we'll see[/quote]

What do you mean being treated like a servant? A toddler doesn't know what it means and if they throw stuff at you chances are they are throwing it at everybody. It's great to work towards better behavior, but I think you might be taking some stuff too personally due to lack of experience with this age group.  If it's any help you can go to the general parenting discussion forum and read about all the tantrums kids throw with the parents - no nannies involved, all the same challenges.[/quote]

I  appreciate your opinion and invitation. It's not lack of experience.   My experience with the  3 to 6 year old range is actually greater than with babies and toddlers.

This probably an unpopular opinion but children ages 4 to 6 are not toddlers.

4 and 6 is capable of knowing right from wrong, learning to express emotions appropriately/

By being treated like a servant I mean I  expect children to pick up after themselves or help out. I expect please and thank you..

As I have mentioned I do not  require perfection.

I do have  standards of behavior. They might be "too high" for some parents knew this during interview and acted like they wanted  changes to be made. Over my time here they seemed to have been less supportive.

I understand that change is hard.
I do not blame the kids they are doing as they have been taught.

But the parents and have have talked and we are going to work on things together.[/quote]
