Norland nannies have looked after royal children, including Prince George, Duke of Cambridge.
A small college in the historic city of Bath, U.K., is the place Britain's royal family calls when they need child care.
Norlanders, as they are known after graduating, usually prefer to be known publicly by only their first names to protect the identities of the children in their care, as well as their employers. Norland was established in 1892 by educator Emily Ward, who leaned on the teachings of Friedrich Fröbel, a pioneer in early childhood education who introduced the concept of the kindergarten and focused on the idea of the child as an individual with unique needs and abilities.
"One really, really important tip for any … parent is every child is different and grows and learns at different speeds," Alice told CNBC."It's very easy, especially for a first-time parent with a baby to think oh, well, my baby isn't crawling yet. Why are all of these other mums telling me that their baby is crawling?" she said."Don't compare other babies, just go with what works for you to keep the child happy and healthy," she said.
"With a child who has started to communicate verbally, they don't want to listen to what you have to say, that's not the right time to be talking about it," she said. Instead, she suggested, speak to them afterward, when they're in a better frame of mind.If a child is doing something you don't want them to do, consider"redirecting behaviors," Alice said.
"That gives them the feeling of control," Alice said."But really, you're you're saying the warm weather outfits that you can wear, so you're keeping them safe, while so allowing them to be in control," she added.If a child's behavior is dangerous or harmful, such as if a toddler attempts to bite another child, try to understand that this comes from"frustration, or it's curiosity," Alice said.
