My Lady and I have just entered the Landed Nobility and our children are
adults. During their childhood the Children's Corner was a spotty
occurrence. I give eternal thanks to Countess Judith von Gruenwald for
helping us keep coming to events with ADHD children. We always did 'tag
team' kid watching. One of us on over watch and the other enjoying the event
until a WWF tag off was actually done.
Many past Kings and Queens with children have had an officially designated
Royal Nanny. The rules of our kingdom make this position almost mandatory as
the Royalty MUST be 'on call' at events and may not be able to check with
their children on a regular basis. A Royal Nanny would fulfill this
requirement and the children would know that this person had the power of
low and middle justice over them.
The "My daddy's an important person, you'd better watch out." argument is
common throughout time and space. It should also be quashed as soon as
possible. The Nanny or the parents should take the child aside and explain
just why that statement could be really, really offensive.
