We are White, middle-class American women who have been privileged to learn over many years ways of thinking, feeling, and being from the families who generously permitted us to study and learn with them about parenting and infant caregiving. The families we worked with lived in rural and urban environments. They were European, African American, Latino/a, Asian, and Middle-Eastern in race and ethnicity, rich and poor, and all with challenging life circumstances and demanding parenting and caregiving responsibilities in respect to an infant with a medically complex condition. These families shaped our theory of guided participation in clinical practice and equipped us to write this article.
