This workshop emphasizes the underlying emotional issues of infant care. The video Protective Urges is shown. Parents often feel heightened emotions when they bring their infants to a professional child care provider, because of inborn "protective urges." Caregivers also feel protective and emotional about the care of infants. Heightened emotion on the part of both parties can make it more difficult to work together on behalf of the child. The video and workshop activities offer strategies that caregivers can use to ease parents' anxieties about using care, as well as steps they can take to deal with their own feelings about working with parents. Topics discussed include:
· The protective feelings of parents and caregivers
· How to ease parents' uncomfortable feelings about using care
· Ways to express understanding, competence, honesty
· The importance of dealing with caregivers' own feelings
· Accepting and exploring feelings
· Listening skills
· Developing an action plan.
