Caregivers can improve infant care outside the home by attending to issues of identity formation. Having an orientation that acknowledges the caregiver's role in an infant's identity formation would place the infant and the infant's work in proper perspective. United States
The baby's world
The role of the infant/toddler caregivers is to remember that each baby responds to the world in his or her own way and to respond sensitively to the each child's own way of experiencing the environment. United States
