Im a nanny for three children and the oldest is giving me problems. He is 5 and he has terrible ADHD along with anxiety issues like Ive never seen in a child. I can deal with that although it makes for a rough day… the biggest problem is that he pits his mother against me after I leave by lying to her about how I treat him and how I spend my day. Ive tried confronting him and he says he wont do it anymore (not true). Ive tried being extra sweet to him when I think he deserves discipline to see if maybe he reacts better to positives than negative (doesnt work). Ive tried being stern with him and strict to see if he just needs more structure (no help). The kicker is that his mother is way harsher with him than I am and he doesnt seem to react better to it… In fact he has worse tantrums with her than anyone, but he doesnt resent her like he does me. I realize that part of the problem is that he craves her attention, but I am the nanny and he is not going to get a lot more of her sttention. I need to figure out how to make the best of this.

My 6 year old son is highly sensitive and cries almost everyday when he goes to school. Because he is a highly sensitive little boy, he needs a close to friend to be there and unfortunately he hasn’t met the right friend. He has played with lots of his classmates outside school time, but he still has not found a good friend or classmate to play with at school. I’ve had long talks with him about this and it doesn’t work. Playdate is in the works. What else can I say or do to help him?

I know there’s no “right or wrong” age to wean from the bottle—however, my pediatrician says it’s time for my 21 month old to give it up. Since nursery school started, he’s become obsessed with the bottle. He wants it 24/7—it’s becoming his new “blanket”. How do I get rid of the bottle?
