Individual infants in group care vary significantly. Caregivers might tend to spend more time with what types of infant? How do you feel about this human tendency?
What will be an ideal response?
The easy going, happy, good tempered, good looking ones, or ones that look most like the caregiver and smile a lot might have an edge. Or infants that seemed to need attention the most. Or infants with particular characteristics and manners that are admired by the caregiver. If so, this should bother you. A caregiver has a limited amount of time each day to spend with all infants in their care to promote their well being and growth potential so fairness and equal time should be a priority. If a ‘squeaky wheel' or an overly needy child gets more staff time and energy, this should be discussed with caregivers and supervisors. All children are special and have an equal right to caregiver attention.
