Establishing Good Habits
Julie Dubow Friday, July 12th at 1pm

Find out how emotions and discipline are shaping your child's Intelligence and life. Intelligence is the machinery that drives our ongoing growth and well being. It powers our actions and dreams. It directs our work, play, love and relationships. It shapes who we become year after year, decade after decade. Your baby is learning 24 hours a day! Because emotions affect the brain, how you respond to your baby's feelings can nurture their intelligence. Learn to raise an independent critical thinker. Punishment/Reward Systems vs Natural Consequences. What is compassionate discipline? Establishing good habits now will eliminate future power struggles while helping your children to gain valuable skills that will benefit them later in life and in the workplace. Learn more...

Ask Westside Nannies
Ask Your Childcare Questions Here:
Visit our Facebook page to ask Westside Nannies your most burning 
nanny-related questions. Each week, they will answer questions featured in our Class Newsletter published at the end of the week!
 
This week's question & answer:
Q: Our nanny is practically a part of our family, and we often keep her filled in on parts of our personal lives. However, she has started to open about her personal life, and it's become too much. How can we let her know that it's over-share? 
 
A: Because of the complexity and unique dynamics of the relationship between a nanny and her employers, getting into personal life conversations is common issue. However, maintaining healthy boundaries is extremely important for your relationship in the long run, because once you become involved in your nanny's personal life and she becomes involved in yours, it's going to be an ongoing conversation. The best way to draw the line between work and personal life is to model appropriate questions by watching your own behavior and conversation topics. While it may seem tempting to open up about yourself to your nanny, this may only rub off as an excuse for her to open up about her own life. In the long run, keeping personal topics mum and conversing solely about childcare and petty life topics like the weather, movies, and music keeps things professional in the long run!
 
Have a thought about this question & answer? We'd like to know what you think. Click here to post your questions on our Facebook Page or email us here
