A mom asked me a most interesting and currently pertinent question the other day: How much one-on-one interaction should take place between a nanny and a child under her supervision? The question is pertinent because increasing numbers of upper-middle-class parents are choosing to use nannies for daily child care instead of or in addition to day care centers and preschools. I will say, up front, that I have no general opinion on this trend at all.
