Something important to keep in mind!!!!
Be Open to a New Approach: Realize there might be more than one way to get something done when it comes to caring for your child’s needs. Your new caregiver could have a different way of doing a task than you. But you and your child might learn from
your new caregiver. As long as it is done in a safe, respectful way, be open to a new approach.
