The Importance of Bonding and Familiarity in the EOR Role
 

By designating the other parent as the EOR, there are inherent advantages in terms of bonding and familiarity. The EOR, being intimately involved in the care of their child, possesses a deep understanding of the individual's unique needs, preferences, and routines. This familiarity fosters a strong bond between the EOR and the individual in need, ensuring a higher level of comfort and trust in the caregiving relationship. In contrast, a non-live-in EOR, lacking the same level of familiarity and connection, may face challenges in establishing a meaningful caregiving dynamic. The emotional well-being and sense of security for the individual in need are best facilitated when the EOR parent assumes the other role, fostering a nurturing and supportive environment.
