[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here: My son does do quiet time. He will sit quietly and watch a movie or play with toys for 1-2 hours. His nanny decided to stay and give it one more month. She asked if I could sign him up for a few classes. She even told me that I need to stop going out on the weekends because my son misses me. I honestly think my son is so excited because his nanny takes him on way more outings than I ever have! I think he's really excited to do new things and he wants to spend more time at these activities. She's going to keep him out for 2 hours in the mornings. Hopefully this will be enough time to tire him out and he will fall asleep in the car. [/quote]

No movies!  There’s no brain development in the movie unless he and the nanny are talking about it the whole time, but it’s also not really restful.  He needs time and attention from his caregivers, geared to helping him figure out how to control himself.  And if I were the nanny, I would have him lie down.  Even if he doesn’t sleep now, it’s teaching his body that this is the routine, so if he is tired one day, he’ll sleep.[/quote]
