[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I play with all of my charges, regardless of age. For an older child of that age, I would normally sit close by while he engages himself in T.V., a book, or his iPad. [/quote] My nanny does this with my 8 year old when she is trying to engage herself by reading (at least 30 minutes required daily) or on her iPad (limited to 30 minutes daily) and it drives my daughter crazy. My daughter moves from room to room to escape the nanny weirdly sitting by her and the nanny just follows her around. [/quote] That would have driven me nuts as a kid too, which is why I never do it. I let the child know which room I will be and and offer to be around but I always let them know they can be on their own as well... Most choose to go to their room. A child 8 years and older should have time alone and should be more than capable of reading unsupervised for 30 minutes or more. Why is it so hard to distinguish child care from hovering?[/quote]
