Nannies and Au Pairs
The person with the child for most of the waking day needs the same language the parents use, handed over properly rather than assumed.
Built on Ellis Abel and the Red Block — “Big feelings. Small choices. Real accountability.” A character series, not a curriculum with a worldview attached.
The five sessions
- Session 1
Read one chapter, no questions the first night
- Session 2
Second night, ask what part they would change and why
- Session 3
Third night, tell them a time you got this wrong yourself
- Session 4
Fourth night, they pick the family's one step for the week
- Session 5
Fifth night, come back to it and say out loud what changed
Questions leaders ask
Is nannies and au pairs in your area a religious program?
No. Ellis Abel is a character series. Each volume carries one named core value — this one is accountability — and the story does the teaching. There is no doctrine in it, nothing to opt out of, and it is used in public schools, libraries and secular programs as readily as anywhere else.
What ages does this work for?
Ages 2-8. The story is read aloud, so a child who cannot read yet is fully in it, and the discussion prompts are written in two bands so one adult can hold a mixed-age room.
Can our your area staff run this without training?
Yes. Every session is a read-aloud with the questions written out, a timing column, and a note for when the room falls apart. A new teacher can run it on their second day.
How does this fit an early-learning framework?
It sits in the social and emotional development strand as a read-aloud with a follow-up action. It is a story and a routine, not an assessment, so it slots into circle time rather than replacing anything.
The rules that make it work
This is a character story, not a behaviour plan
Ellis Abel is a core-values series. No child is assessed, scored, diagnosed or labelled anywhere in it. It gives a room shared language, and it stops there.
Big feelings are not misbehaviour
A four-year-old at full volume is not defying anyone. Treating the feeling as an offence teaches a child to hide it, which is the opposite of the skill.
Name first, always
Every attempt to fix a feeling before naming it fails, and it fails loudly. The order in the book is the order in the room.
Ownership is small and specific
"Be responsible" means nothing at four. One job, done alone, every day, means everything, and it generalises on its own.
Adults go first
The adult naming their own feeling out loud in front of the child does more work than any session. Children copy what they see under pressure.
Routines beat reminders
A routine a child can recite is theirs. A reminder an adult repeats is the adult's, and it has to be repeated forever.
