» MyGrammie - Relative Care Option
Hi Julie,Once again a very well written informative article. I provided the childcare for my granddaughter from 2 days old until she went to full time kindergarten it was a wonderful experience for both of us. If your readers need more information on Relative Care please visit my topic and latest article "Grandparents as Daily
Childcare Providers" http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/1254...
the article was written with grandparents in mind but the practical advice is relevant to all childcare options. Thank you for researching and providing this much needed info on childcare options.

Thank you! I read your article and it is full of good information. Although I don't anticipate being a grandparent for several years, my daughter, who has just turned 18, has already told me that she wants me to be her child care provider. I hope we have as wonderful an experience as you did. That part about being quiet, even when you're sure you know best, that's going to be a tough one!-- posted by julie_r

In response to message posted by julie_r:The hardest is being quiet when you know best, but offering alternative ways is a none judgmental and lighthearted way can get your point across without offending. Also just being a good example can help sway to your way of handling certain situations. The key is honest open communication with your child and always putting your grandchild's best interest into focus. Your daughter and you will have a common goal and work as a team, taking your relationship to a higher level of love and respect for each other. Being the primary care giver for your grandchild is a very rewarding experience. I'm sure one you will enjoy immensely when it is time for your grandbaby to arrive.

» student10171 - is child care the only option?
im a senior university student doing a research paper on the effects, if any on a childs development process and i was wondering if anyone had an oppion on this issue? Do absent mothers have a negative effect on a childs development? And if so do day care centres sufficiently cover this role?-- posted by student10171
