[QUOTE="Andrea Danielle, post: 27956, member: 2357"] Hi there, it is challenging to find the right nanny for a difficult child. Most nannies really want or hope for an easy child to deal with and what you don't want to happen is for them to be easily frustrated and then have to go through a couple different ones trying to find out who can handle your child. What we ended up doing was advertising online through Universities/Colleges and saying right in the ad that our son had BiPolar (BP). This way, we were sure that who ever applied had an interest in working with children like this. We ended up finding a student who was just graduating from a program called Child and Youth Worker. She was thrilled to get some hands on experience. She chose a career in working with challenging children so she welcomes the behaviours that he has as she can learn from it. It has turned out to be the best arrangement for us because she wants to learn and we work together on finding solutions. She loves The Explosive Child techniques and tries hard to implement it. When starting with our son, she quickly realized that a lot of those behaviour modification techniques she had just learned in school were not working with our guy [img]:smile:[/img] So, that's my advice, find someone who WANTS to work with a challenging child - not someone who really wants to have a compliant one.
