DS started school in September - he's an August bday so very young - but he's loving it, fitting in well and reading/writing as expected. Parents' evening teacher told us he had settled in well, was interested and engaged etc.
I was on maternity leave until half term. We have an after- school nanny who is kind, cooks well etc and is very caring. DS tells us he likes her but he's being rude, shouty and grumpy with her. Today, he apparently screamed at her at the school gates. We've explained that mummy and daddy both work and that we love him but can't collect from school. He says he likes the nanny and I really don't think she is the problem herself - it's just that she's not me.
We've tried all the usual things like taking toys away, not allowing screen time, positive affirmation of behaviours. This week we tried a reward chart - nothing is working.
He's usually so lovely and we've always been quite firm about manners and so this is all completely new for us. What on earth can we do?!
