For some situations, I'm sure that can be the case. From my own experience, what Nanny has said is spot on. I have used her technique and it worked PERFECTLY. What a change to drop off/pick up behavior! Any time they are with their parent, they rule the roost (it's extremely obvious). When they are in MY home, they behave perfectly. I believe in my day to day activities AND implementing this technique I AM helping the child and the parents. It is not wrong of me to not permit this behavior in my home when they can do it perfectly fine when their parents are not around.
