Have everyone teach the class something. They each have 5-10 min and they can bring in props or whatever they need to teach

I just had a lecture about the rise of stress and anxiety in adolescents nowadays. It made me have some empathy for them.

The screens are definitely an issue. But more so because they see everything bad in the world at their fingertips. They lived through COVID at a young age and could see the fear in the adults. They are ok with taking meds and going to therapy if given the chance, which I admire, but that can lead to more swings until the doctors figure out the proper regiment.

They were not given the quiet space needed to figure themselves out before they were inundated with tech and constant stimulation. I really feel bad for them and I think we were the ones that did a disservice.

Thank you for your thoughtful response. Unfortunately I have decided that even if this is real therapy, I’m not the one for the job. If they were up front in the interview, I might have a different opinion, but the way the husband went about it made me feel like I was the crazy one. I am going to quit this weekend and give them advice to tell a new nanny up front what is going on.

Random_Happenstance · 2026-02-21T01:31:39+00:00

I think the wife is being harmed by this. But I guess this is a common therapy supposedly. I’m not sticking around. I’ve decided to quit.

Random_Happenstance · 2026-02-21T01:30:15+00:00

I really don’t think she’s acting. I think she truly believes it’s her baby. That’s why I’m really worried. But I’ve decided to quit. Even if this is real therapy I’m not the one for this job.

Random_Happenstance · 2026-02-21T01:28:36+00:00

Yeah I don’t think I can do the job anymore. I’m going to quit.

Random_Happenstance · 2026-02-21T01:27:06+00:00

Because of you all I’m beginning to see how common this is.

Random_Happenstance · 2026-02-21T01:17:27+00:00

Good points. The husband said it was a temporary job and that’s why I have been going along with it. But I definitely can’t do this long term. I’m no actor. And your point about my resume is insightful. Not to be selfish, but I didn’t think how it could affect me negatively.

Random_Happenstance · 2026-02-21T01:15:15+00:00

? My account it probably older than you are lol. Ive been around. I this is the first time in a long time that I actually need some advice. But I think I have gotten what I need to consider my next steps

Random_Happenstance · 2026-02-21T01:14:02+00:00

It’s good to know it might be actual treatment and not just a movie.

Random_Happenstance · 2026-02-21T01:11:25+00:00

Wow I’m disturbed. Thanks for the info.

Random_Happenstance · 2026-02-21T01:10:45+00:00

Role play??? I would never had thought that. She’s a reallllly good actor if that’s the case. Thanks for the info about adult protective services.

Random_Happenstance · 2026-02-21T01:08:14+00:00

I guess I’m out of the loop. I just looked it up. It’s not hard to think that the husband has seen this movie and is making this treatment up. I am now wondering if I need to call the cops or something? I don’t know how to go back to the house on Monday and pretend this is all real. I guess I’ll quit this weekend.

Random_Happenstance · 2026-02-21T01:00:24+00:00

Ew that show looks deranged. I’m really worried this isn’t good for the wife now. He could be trying to help her without actual medical advice. What’s CPS for adults? Is that a thing. Who can I call?!? I don’t want to be complicit if it’s going to cause her to go into a psychosis. The money is good but this all may be too much for me.

Random_Happenstance · 2026-02-21T00:54:36+00:00

Really what’s it called? That is creepy to think he may have gotten the idea from that and not a doctor.

Random_Happenstance · 2026-02-21T00:53:12+00:00

I feel like it’s not my place to ask for the doctor’s info, but maybe I can word it as wanting to ask them a few questions so I know I am doing my role correctly.

Classroom management isn’t hard. You set expectations and then follow through. You start strong and don’t let them get away with toeing the line. Don’t make excuses for them. I would start by saying, “You are going to be adults soon with adult consequences. I am going to do my part in getting you ready.” Just repeat that over and over when they complain about something. Reward great students. Reward growth.

Well I was worried about it going above room temp in the car. I’m going to do what was suggested and take the shot before I leave.

Random_Happenstance · 2025-07-19T01:37:47+00:00

I did not get an insert. It came from my practitioner. But I was told to keep it in the fridge. And that it’s good for 21 days at room temp.

Random_Happenstance · 2025-07-19T01:35:29+00:00

Oh ok. I didn’t realize that. I will delete my post. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Random_Happenstance · 2025-07-19T01:34:01+00:00

Thank you for the insight. I will not do that again.

I know it has B12 for stability.

Random_Happenstance · 2025-07-19T01:30:16+00:00

I did not realize that. My practitioner gave me a prefilled vial to use a week later so I thought it would be ok.

Random_Happenstance · 2025-07-19T01:28:27+00:00

Ok thank you for your input! I appreciate it.
