How does competition impact the relationship between families and caregivers?

What will be an ideal response?


Children are likely to have a primary attachment to their families and a secondary attachment to their caregivers. Parents may feel insecure about the love that their child seems to have for the caregiver, worrying that they will be replaced as number one. Caregivers may also feel competitive for the child's affections, although they should not. Strengthening the relationship between family and caregiver and respecting their respective roles can help.
