Hello and welcome to Nurture & Nanny’s October Newsletter.

September was a great month. We continued to build on our nanny community by hosting a Baby Sign Language class presented by SignShine - www.signshine.com It was great to spend time with the nannies that participated and I know that as they teach the children in their care what they were taught in the class, they will be very successful at it.

September was a month of celebrations as well. Friends of Nurture & Nanny were visited by the stork while others exchanged vows promising happily ever after. It was a month of new beginnings and endless possibilities.

Now it’s time to start thinking about Halloween costumes and can you believe that Thanksgiving is just around the corner?

Here are a few Trick Or Treat tips to make your Halloween safe and fun!

Carry a flashlight with fresh batteries after dark.
Wear identification that's easy to read.
Always trick or treat in groups, accompanied by an adult.
Stay on the sidewalks and out of the streets. Cross only at intersections and designated crosswalks.
Only visit well lit houses. Don't stop at dark houses.
Don't enter any houses unless you know the people.
Carry a spare Halloween bag -- in case yours breaks or you fill your original one.
Don't eat any candy until it's inspected for tampering under bright lights.

Enjoy!

All the best,

Lara

Developing & Fostering a Relationship with Your Child's Nanny: For your child's sake, a parent needs to develop a good relationship with the person who is caring for your child during your absence. The stronger the relationship with your caregiver, the more comfortable your child will feel as he/she interacts with the two of you. The better you communicate with each other about the child, the more continuity of care on a day to day basis. Read on to learn more.

Homework Tips for Children with ADHD: Many children with ADHD are bright students with difficulty in one or two subjects. A key to remember about the ADHD child and homework is that the world (environment, expectations, and tasks) is often overwhelming. Read on to see what you can do to help.
