#FlorenceAnnRomano, the #WindyCityNanny and author of #NannyandMe, as she shares how parents can help keep their children occupied during this lengthy stay-at-home for students, while also keeping their own sanity so everyone wins.
More and more child care centres are offering parents a chance to literally be a fly on the wall. They are installing cameras and letting parents livestream the day's events. Florence Ann Romano, best known as the Windy City Nanny, believes in webcams. She says your day home or daycare should have nothing to hide. On the other hand, parenting expert Alyson Schafer is encouraging you cut the cord. She argues surveillance will only increase mom and dad’s anxiety. We debate both arguments.
