text: Everyone experiences things in different ways. This allows a variety of information to use when trying to solve a problem. For example, when I first began babysitting children in my neighborhood I was nervous because I was scared that I would have no idea what to do. I asked my mom, my dad, my aunt, and my friends for advice. Each of them had very different advice and opinions on what to do with the kids, what to feed the kids, and how strict I should be. I gathered all of the feedback and was able to come up with an idea of how I should act around the kids and what to do with them. Using the information that other people had gathered from their own babysitting experiences allowed me to be prepared for mine. Yes, asking more than one person for advice provides more information, but it also gives a clearer perspective of the situation.
