"Even the most well-behaved child can have trouble adjusting to a full-time childcare provider, especially if they’re accustomed to having a parent at home during the day. Here are some signs that your youngster may be finding the adjustment difficult.
- “You’re Not My Mom!”
- Going Over Nanny’s Head
- Ignoring or Defying Commands
- Blatant Disregard For Rules
- Invading Personal Space
- Ignoring a Live-In Nanny’s Off Hours
- Breaking Curfew
- Lying
- Frequent Temper Tantrums
- Talking Back and Arguing
While good communication is a key part of your relationship with a childcare provider, it’s also important to be observant. A nanny with a soft heart may be hesitant to “tattle” on your child and may not be developing the respect needed; also, acting out can be a sign that your child is under stress. Either way, quietly keeping your eye on the interaction between your child and their caregiver is imperative."
