Bianca Hunsaker Professor Best CHDV B13C 3 December 2023 Chapter 14 Review 1. What are the stages of caregiver development in relating to parents and other family members? Which is the stage to aim for and why? - Caregiver as a savior, caregiver as superior to parent, and caregiver as partner to parent and/or family.

Parent involvement works best when parents feel welcome to participate and help out on the side. The main purpose of the program is parent education, and it comes about through actively working with the children and through discussion groups, parent meetings, and guest speakers. This model is the ideal way to augment the knowledge building that happens naturally when parents spend time around a center, even just for short drop-off and pick-up sessions. 5. How are caregiver relations different for center staff than for family childcare providers? - In a family childcare providers home, the issue is family relationst.
