A nannie sits at the side of the playground chatting with her friend. The adorable child says 'hello' as i walk past, and begins to follow me to the tennis court. She's being friendly and curious. The nanny jumps up and runs after her shouting "No!!!!" in a frightened and fearful tone.
If she'd been paying attention it could have been pleasant and wonderful. That child is now slightly more stressed around strangers and will likely grow up to stay contained. I wish her luck and an impulse to grow and explore in later years when she is offered freedom.
A place for my public musings on this new relationship with my son.
