This week is an author interview for the ages! Hallee Adelman joins us to talk about her amazing "Way Past" series that's all about feelings! These books have been really popular with every kid I've read them with and are such a great springboard for conversations about feelings! You'll hear the delight in our voices as we discuss methods for working with kids on expressing and working through their feelings!
Finding the balance between our jobs and our lives can be extra tricky for nannies. Sometimes our identity is wrapped up in being a nanny. Luckily, this week we have Amber Noelle to walk us through how to maintain our work life balance! I am constantly inspired by her Instagram account and was delighted to have her on the show!
Dr. Stephanie Ryan is back to talk us through some fun 4th of July science experiments! These are a wonderful way to celebrate an often very loud holiday for kids who may not enjoy fireworks or if it's raining! All of these experiments can be done any other time of the year too! Make sure you follow both Dr. Stephanie and Chronicles of Nannya to see videos of how all of these are done!
Emergencies happen when we least expect them. As nannies, it can be really anxiety provoking to think that a major emergency may happen on our watch. Brigid Murphy joins us to talk about her use of "Emergency Helpers" with her nanny kids and how it has come in handy over the years! This interview certainly changed how I talked about emergencies with my nanny kids!
