How to keep that fabulous caregiver..well, fabulous!
If you have an amazing nanny or manny, they are more than likely performing marathons to keep your kids, your household, and themselves sane for when you return. You’re a busy family with places to be, children to dote on, and a boatload of work with a deadline that was last week; in other words, you barely have room to think about anything else. However, one very important thing you should try to squeeze in is some appreciation for your children’s nanny or manny. You’re probably thinking that your children’s nanny or manny already know how much you appreciate them. While that may be true (and if often is!), sometimes they just aren’t getting that crucial feedback. Hopefully, this post can be a great, perhaps gentle reminder to always say “thank you” to your nanny or manny. Either way, here is some food for thought on ways that can remind them that they are important and recognized. One place every family can start is National Nanny Recognition Week and how to celebrate it. Although it has come and gone this past September you can always prepare for next year. National Nanny Recognition Week is a time each year that gives […]
Finding Your Soul Nanny
Ugh. I Need to Find Childcare. It was the summer of 2015, and I was a hot mess. Literally. My wardrobe consisted of nursing tanks with crusty milk stains, and the summer heat fueled my glistening maternal glow. Luckily, my aesthetic was likely overlooked by the stench of various body fluids flung/dripped/wiped/hurled onto me by my three heirs. As I reveled in my motherly status during a morning walk with the infant, a neighbor asked me who would watch the baby once I returned to work. Crap. As with all things related to parenting, I was usually 3 steps behind and operating on 1) wishful thinking and 2) goldfish crackers. In this particular case, the clouds parted and the world bestowed me a V.I.N. (Very Involved Neighbor). “I have someone for you.” Whew. Heck, yes. I am such a good mother. You Had Me At “Non-Gender Conforming” So, here’s the thing. My three kids emerged from the same lady parts, and they are outstandingly different. I needed someone who knew to 1) sway his/her hips when holding the one who still pooped his pants, 2) honor the one who loves pink and has a dark mind like Poe and, […]
The Thin Line Between Rewarding and Bribing
The thin line between rewarding and bribing. July 11, 2017 There’s just a thin line between rewarding and bribing a child. In both situations you acknowledge certain behavior. While your child will enjoy the outcome of rewarding as well as bribing, it’s important to understand rewarding will stimulate good behavior while bribing will not. Rewarding You can reward a child after he/she showed good behavior, performed the way you wanted him/her to or did something extraordinary. Rewarding takes place after the act and can happen verbally, experientially or materialistically. When you reward a child, you name the reason why you think they deserve to be acknowledged and you tell them what they get in return to celebrate this behavior. Example: You are at the supermarket and your child ,who usually keeps running around, stays with you and helps you find everything on your grocery list. You’re really impressed by the change of behavior and you tell him/her how happy you are about it. “I’m very thankful for your help today. You acted very well and that makes it easier for both of us. You saved us a lot of time, perhaps we can use that time to bake some brownies instead? […]
