Relationships/partnerships are important to me because it helps strengthen my physical, emotional, and mental health. There is strong evidence that supports that healthy relationships or partnerships are related to people's health. Those who are alone and/or isolated from people tend to have a higher risk of obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, and other diseases and illnesses.
I have positive relationships with my 3 year old son, Gabriel. I have relationships with my extended family. I am now developing a relationship with my birth mother. I have good relationships with my college friends as well as my childhood friends from my hometown. I talk to my college friends almost everyday, and I try to talk to my childhood friends at least once a week. I keep in touch with the people in my life through phone calls, texts, social media such as Twitter and Facebook.
I believe to keep any type of relationship or partnership together, there has to be some type of communication. You may not always agree with the people that you have relationships with, but with communication compromises can be helpful for any situation.
I believe that communication is essential when working in early childhood education because as an educator, much interaction will be done between teacher-child, teacher-parent, and parent-child. With good communication, as a future educator I can help those families and children who need the resources to achieve their long and short term goals.
I completely agree that communication is healthy. I found myself suffering from high blood pressure because I held everything in which I will never do again. GREAT POST
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post; I agree that compromises help relationships grow, it is essential for relationships with students' parents.
ReplyDeleteIt is extremely important for people to talk to each other good or bad. Positive relationships are important for early childhood educators because working together helps everyone stay positive and we get to know each other from communicating each day. It is essential we work together to form positive bonds with families for the support of the child involved in our classroom. If we have positive family relationships of our own, it is easier to have positive family relationships with the parents we work with. Great post.
