Why Kids Listen to the Nanny — But Not to Their Parents

Ever wonder why your child listens beautifully to the nanny, but the moment you walk through the door, everything changes? You're not imagining it. And it doesn't necessarily mean your child respects the nanny more or that you're doing something wrong. In this video, The Family Edit explores why children sometimes behave differently with their parents and caregivers, drawing on more than 14 years of professional nanny experience. We'll talk about: How predictable routines help children cooperate Why clear expectations and calm follow-through matter What changes when Mom or Dad comes home How parents and nannies can work together instead of comparing themselves Because the goal isn't to figure out who's better at getting children to listen. It's to understand what's working and learn from each other. Question for you: Have you ever noticed your child behaving differently with different caregivers? Share your experience in the comments!
