Love when people are receptive

Today during a playdate, I carpooled with another nanny to the park in her car. I got the baby I watch all in snug and tight and noticed that the little girl she watches (23 months) had very loose straps and the chest clip at the belly. I just calmly made mention of it and told her how she could fix it and she seemed receptive. I usually meet with this nanny friend at least once a week for a playdate, so hopefully next time I see her she'll be sporting her new skills :D

I think she fully understood it when the little girl she watches reached her entire arm out of her harness in order to grab something, so she had one arm in the harness and one out :eek: She looked shocked that it had happened, but I doubt that it hasn't happened before (and often) with how loose the straps were. Hopefully not anymore, though!

Yay!!! It's so nice when people listen and don't get defensive about what's going on. It's not like we care or want to call them bad parents, we just want their kids safe!

I hope she remembers and does it some more.
