So when your professional knowledge about what children need is in contrast with the practice of a particular family or individual, the solution lies in communicating about the differences. Together everyone involved can figure out what to do about those differences, as Jamal's family and teacher did with their shower cap solution. Professional knowledge is valuable, but there is always room to expand on it. The goal, unless a family sees it differently, is to keep children safe, trusting, developing, growing, and connected to their culture while also learning how to operate in the world outside it.
