Who's Watching the Babies?: Improving the Quality of Family, Friend and Neighbour Care

"When researchers ask parents "who's watching your baby?" the answer is often a family member, friend, or neighbor. The most common source of nonparental care of infants and toddlers is care provided by family, friends, and neighbors in informal arrangements." "In this new book, author Douglas R. Powell offers a compelling and insightful review of successful initiatives and programs that address the barriers and pitfalls agencies and trainers face when focusing on the needs of family, friend, and neighbor caregivers. Who's Watching the Babies? puts research into practice by offering concrete strategies and promising pathways to improve the quality of family, friend, and neighbor care."--BOOK JACKET.
