Raising Children With Resiliance

Charlotte, Charlie and Millie discuss how we can help raise resilient children and how nannying and parenting have evolved over the years.

Have we become too quick to step in? Are children being given enough freedom to make mistakes, experience disappointment and sit with difficult emotions? The ladies discuss the importance of allowing children to learn through doing, rather than constantly rescuing them or jumping in too soon.

They explore why we should not underestimate children. Often, children know their own capabilities and limitations and deserve to be trusted to try, fail and try again. The girls discuss praising and acknowledging the process, effort and learning — not just the end result, especially when the outcome is not what the child had hoped for.

They also explore how we can support children in developing the skills to eventually regulate their own emotions, rather than becoming dependent on constant external reassurance and intervention.

Finally, the ladies discuss whether Nannies may sometimes be in a unique position to help children develop resilience. With a different and, in some ways, less emotionally intense attachment than a parent, can Nannies sometimes find it easier to hold firm boundaries and support children through difficult emotions without immediately trying to fix them?

Charlotte’s Dms

I am about to take a child I look after to the airport, fly with them, solo, to their destination long haul by the way, and then turn on my heal and fly back to the UK. How do I invoice them for this?
