AVA EL Gy “Every caregiver, teacher and community member contributes to a child’s growth, shaping not only their skills and values, but their sense of identity and belonging.” e Your child’s attachment style, ability to adapt and sensitivity to new stimulus overwhelms them. Your child may not be socially ready and may benefit from one-on-one care. Vv Family pros: Flexibility and potentially more consistency in caregivers than daycare, which may have alternate staff. Your child can benefit from the emotional security, cultural values and bonding time provided by family. & Family cons: Boundary issues or dependence may arise in situations where family is unpaid. Their approach to discipline, learning and nutrition may not align with yours and it may be difficult to enforce your own. They may also not be consistently available, so having a backup in place may be necessary. “PCONSIDERA «D DAYCARE IF: © Your child enjoys social environments like indoor play centres or birthday parties. They may enjoy socialising with others ina daycare. Your child needs more constructive stimulation than be what is provided at home. © You want early exposure to routine and to group activities that develop cognitive and language skills. V Daycare pros: Your child will learn social skills and how to share with others. You will benefit from the fixed schedule and dependability of a daycare, allowing you to plan your day accordingly. & Daycare cons: Although daycares have hygiene protocols, the exposure to illness will be higher than in a home environment. You will also need to plan ahead and provide your child with extra clothing, nappies if applicable and lunch boxes for snacks and meals if the daycare does not provide. Deciding to leave your child in the care of someone else - whether it is someone you know or someone you need to learn to trust - can bea difficult, overwhelming decision to make. As with most parts of parenthood, you should rely on your gut feeling and make a decision that works best for you and your family. Remember, if your first option does not work out in the way you thought it would, there are more options you can try. ©)
