Sometimes you have to share parenting your child with others such as spouses, grandmothers, and child care teachers.
The key to success is communication and trust. Listen with respect to the child rearing styles of your child’s other caregiver and talk openly about yours. Come up with a plan that accommodates both styles, try it out, and meet again.
Sometimes you may have to adapt your plan a few times before all are comfortable. The important thing is for your child to learn to build trusting and positive relationships with others.
