The Nurturer vs. the Buddy
The struggle I see most in this caregiver/youth relationship is the desire to become the “Buddy.” The Nurturer helps with the behaviors that arise along the way so they can continue moving forward with the day or task at hand.

It is our job as professionals and caregivers to model what a safe adult relationship looks like.
