The Vital Role of Caregiving in Child Development

They say it takes a village to raise children. In this episode, Lisa and Eric tag team child care by providing Family, Friend, and Neighbor (FFN) care to support their family in Hyampom California, their home in the wilderness. Lisa and Eric care for three boys, Lisa is the boy's grandmother and Eric is the boy's uncle. Together, they expose the boys to gardening, bike riding, and baking. For Eric, it's important that he shows up as a father figure in order to leave a lasting impact on the boys self-worth and future. Both Lisa and Eric agree that child care is an under-appreciated but essential job.
