[quote=Anonymous]I think it has more to do with the expectations that the parents set and that the nanny sets. The nanny can spend an hour 'teaching a lesson' while the parents would usually rather give in and enjoy the limited time they have with their child. It doesn't mean they're bad parents, it means they're making other things a priority. But, it does lead to the situation where the child understands this and uses to their advantage. I think they key is to be consistent. Choose a few things that are important to you and stick to them, even if it does lead to a meltdown. In a couple of weeks, and more likely even days, the child will learn that some some things just don't fly with you. And absolutely steal any trick you see anyone use. I've learned lots from my NFs as well as fellow nannies. If you're willing to learn and try, you will definitely find a method that would work with your daughter. [/quote]
