Negative Implications of Restrictions on Parental Involvement:
 

Limiting or excluding parents from being paid care attendants reflects an apparent effort to prevent parental involvement in caregiving roles. This restriction disregards parents' valuable expertise, dedication, and intimate knowledge in caring for their children. Imposing such restrictions undermines parents' ability to actively participate in their children's care while inhibiting their financial stability. Instead of finding ways to exclude parents, it is crucial to recognize and support their important role in providing care and explore strategies to address any concerns or challenges through effective communication and collaboration.
