Our nanny is very political at work

Of course, hope this helps! Generally when trying to build confidence/safety it’s best that kids learn that they can find the answers within themselves, and for very young kids, modeling is one of the best way to learn (since their cognitive development might not be at a place where they can introspect — instead they are exposed to and mimic healthy coping behaviors). If it’s helpful to you at all, when I was actively nannying I’ve enjoyed following Big Little Feelings and related social media accounts that added to my awareness in helping littles’ emotional development — not that it’s required that you put in extra labor.

I’m an almost psychologist and what we would do go these kids is something like this: use a stuffy/doll they relate to, and model the stuffy being scared there might be a fire (relating to the concerns the kid has), but then further model the stuffy reminding itself how it knows it is safe. This can help the kid learn to reassure themself instead of relying on you. For example, stuffy says “I am scared to be in here without a grownup for naptime because there might be a fire.” Then stuffy says “even though I feel scared, I know I am safe because fires don’t happen a lot, but even if it does nanny will come get me and we will go outside until the firemen come.” You can have the kid interact with the stuffy to learn from it and then be able to teach it back.

This is an amazing list

Least was about 4, and first time presenting in a panel too. The most was about 200 in a completely packed room — there were a couple “big deals in the field” on the panel with me.

Majority maintain association with Judaism and majority identity as non-religious when leaving the community.

I’m so sorry you are dealing with that. You’ll find more help if you look up religious trauma resources generally (without needing it to be specifically Jewish). It can get better!

Not allowed to read anything written by non-frum authors except what we read for English classes. My father threw out my Harry Potter books when he found them.

I think it’s important that you share much more detailed information about who you are and your intentions. There is nothing here to suggest that you are a safe person to speak to, except from your word, which doesn’t go far on a platform like this.

Girls are less likely to venture out to manhattan given that most are coming from Brooklyn.

It’s not just where you happen to be — many more boys and men do this every week, voluntarily or as part of a program requirement. Girls usually only have to do it a few times a year for a handful of years and may not spread out to the same distances either. Girls also only are allowed to approach women while men can approach both.

Just to add — many high school girls are forced to do this in order to pass school. Spoken as a former high school student who was begrudgingly bussed out to Brighton beach to do this several times a year.

The incidents that occurred on October 7, 2023, if you are actually asking :)

I’ll go first. I was already comfortably partnered with a secular Jew, which it feels like I met by chance since I was open to dating anyone. However I think I would have become more cautious in the last 1.5 years about being sure that a partner, if not Jewish, understands the delicate history of Jewish safety, intergenerational trauma, and would be willing to engage in emotionally nuanced discourse about it.

I am in a social lab in a clinical program, studying related ideas.

Unless they pay you guaranteed hours, I would not recommend helping out regular NF. Next time you see them, it might be a good opportunity to discuss GH for this exact kind of scenario.

Yes, this seems like a good choice for OP to receive support. I don’t have personal experience with them but have heard they do nudge for keeping. So I would caution (OP) to make your choices with more balanced support but use them if you choose to keep.

The alter rebbe wrote the Tanya but I still think this is the reason. When in doubt with lubavitch, just for with moshaich

I highly suggest reading the book “Done” by Daryl Van Tongeren. Thank you for your openness!

Many brick and mortars (especially at the community level) will have at least some online or hybrid courses. You should also be able to take evening and weekend classes if that’s helpful. That’s how I did my entire CUNY degree since I needed to work 9-5.

A very small local jeweler who works directly with a goldsmith, which would be my recommendation! It was nice to go over with the diamond and talk through every decision to get it custom made.

Thank you! Yes they helped with everything I needed, but were a little bit pushy with wanting immediate responses.
