[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a pretty great and experienced nanny who is against any toddler watching TV at all.  She was hoping we would wait until DD was 4 or 5.  We have waited until DD turned two but now want to introduce a few programs to her.  Nanny has asked us NOT to let her watch on actual big TV (we only have the one in the living room) but rather let her watch on our laptops which we then take to work with us.  N[b]anny said she doesn't want DD asking her to watch TV all day or throw a tantrum because she can't watch T[/b]V.

Does this seem the best way to handle it?  [/quote]

OP, I didn't read all the responses. I assume it is  just mudslinging anyway.
But I'm curious is your daughter constantly throwing tantrums all day? 
I don't really get the point. I mean she can still ask for the laptops all day long and throw a tantrum for them not being there.
I work for a family with 2 children ages  3 and 14 months. I have been with them since the oldest was 3 months old. Initially like me they wanted a no TV policy. That changed when the youngest was born and mom allowed the oldest to watch Elmo while she nursed the baby and got him to bed.
When I came back to work after  mom's maternity leave my charge then 2.5 asked me once for TV. I told him TV was only for when Mama was feeding little brother and putting him to bed not for nanny Sue Sue time ( how he refers to the time I am working).  He tends to be a very strong willed guy, but he was okay with that and we went about our day.
All this to say, your nanny might be over anticipating things. It may not be a big issue at all.
But if you like her laptop solution. Do it.  [/quote]
