Each parent is worried about his child and this is quite natural. We strive to surround children with love and care, protect them from problems and diseases, but this is not always possible.
And, of course, we want only the best nanny for our kids.
However, there are a number of signs that should alert any mom. After all, the nanny may be completely different from what she seems at first glance. And how to understand that the time has come to change the nanny and is it safe to leave for work, leaving her alone with the child?
Pay attention to the behavior of the child
There are a number of signs by which it can be understood that the baby is negatively affected from the side. Here are the main ones:
- The child became nervous;
- He is often silent and does not want to answer any questions;
- Gustatory preferences have changed;
- Does not ask for toys or goodies (especially if this has happened often before);
- Locked in and prefers to play in silence and loneliness, avoiding parents;
- More and more attached to one particular toy, ignoring all the rest and creative games;
- The kid shudders from the loud and shrinks;
- He or she seek protection from parents and they don’t want to let them go to work in the morning. Moreover, they cannot explain the reasons for this behavior.
However, before making claims on the nanny or mindlessly dismissing her, you should find out exactly where all the negative comes from.
Perhaps the reason for the bad mood is the relationship with other children in the kindergarten or on the playground.
Be careful about your daily routine.
Children themselves are very energetic - this is known to all parents. It is rare that a baby can sit in one place for longer than a couple of minutes. Therefore, any changes in his behavior should alert the parent.
How does this happen?
A child who observes your daily routine usually calms down a bit by evening. Especially if daytime activities include outdoor walks and active games.
If the nanny is unscrupulous, the result may be completely unexpected.
1 option: The baby will not be able to sleep in the evenings, he will try to throw out the energy accumulated during the day.
Option 2: The child’s reaction to eternal inhibitions can be even worse. The kid will completely shut himself in and suppress any glimpses of activity or emotions (except negative ones).
If the child has changed his attitude towards family and family
This symptom is one of the most reliable, as it indicates the suppression of the babysitter's will.
Being still emotionally weak, a child with such an impact intuitively seeks support from adults and stronger loved ones.
Thus, if your baby is desperately looking for help from you, but can’t say anything about his behavior, there’s a chance that he’s just afraid of the nanny.
But do not confuse this behavior with the simple attachment of the child to the mother or father. You can distinguish affection from a wicked nanny by symptoms:
- The baby is scared.It is always noticeable in the eyes, in behavior, trembling and quiet crying are possible, frightened children rarely reach hysteria;
- The kid tries not to let go of close relatives when they are visiting you. As if seeking support from them;
- He is also afraid of strangers, tries not to even show his eyes, hides in the room and always behaves very quietly.
Despite these signs, do not forget that sometimes the fault lies not only with the nanny. Maybe you are so worried and worried about the child that you simply cannot relax and trust.
For example, now there is a lot of noise around the royal family and, in particular, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. This is because the beloved couple in England can not find a suitable nanny in any way, for the third qualified nanny has quit in just a couple of months.
And what do you think is the reason for such frequent dismissals in the royal couple? Or is it all far-fetched?
