[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The last two families I've nannied for have been for young children who haven't hesitated to hit, kick, and sometimes even bite whenever the smallest thing doesn't go their way. In all my years I've never seen this quite like I am now. I'd encounter it as a passing phase, but most parents quickly nipped it in the bud. Now, with my current family I'm getting hit almost every day. The last family I had was very similar.
As for what I do about it - I've always taken the approach of communication with parents, and following their lead with discipline. The problem is their discipline approach is "barely any discipline"... time outs (which they can't get the kids to stay in), and gentle explanation. Those are only disciplines I've seen these last few years, and it seems to be a popular thing now to never dare be somewhat "mean" (disciplinarian)  to your child. Which is leaving me trying to pick up the pieces...and not get bruised.

Is this common now? [/quote]   I agree with you 100%. you don't go off the wagon with your kids. you just have to learn how to be gentle. You sound like you have an amazing nanny.  Lets figure it out Without those great nannies our children can get lost .I am so grateful we found the nanny of my dreams. Shush shush my three girls love her so much .I'm not even kidding Our previous nanny recently stopped working for nannyshare. As a parent I'm know it's hard to find the perfect nanny, soft, gentle and kind aren't attributes that all nannies have. Our nanny is very happy everyday to see her charges.  She is confident, positive all the time, dedicated to her work, independent and on time. We treat her very nicely, as we would want to be treated.[/quote]
