Explain How To Establish Positive And Productive Relationships With Families

As parents bring children in the classroom, they sign in each sign-in sheet that contains information about the child on the day; how the child is doing, how the child slept, and how the child ate. If there is a concern about the child, there are teachers available to talk to. Teachers greet pleasantly as parents and children arrive. Some children starts playing with toys as soon as they arrive, but some start crying. Teachers hold these children and help them to say “bye” to their parents.

All members of the staff must act as professionals while at work, especially with young children. The administrative and teaching staff must work together to ensure their practices are developmentally appropriate, and share new and/or creative ideas with one another. It is also the responsibility of a teacher to establish an open, trusting relationship with the parents of each children in their care. Thus, parents can freely communicate their thoughts, concerns, and/or suggestions about their child or the program. Parent satisfaction is something that every child care or development center should strive for.

Effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults alike. It is the central key to establishing and maintaining such positive relationships. It means listening, questioning, understanding and responding to match each individual’s stage of development, their age, personal circumstances and their needs. It is important for the communication to be on the same level as the person you are speaking to so that neither person seems to have more power than the other. Good communication is not just about listening and speaking, it is also about watching and feeling. Excellent communication builds trust in relationships with all.

This quote helps us understand how children (and adults!) really want to be listened to:

Explain why positive relationships with children and young people are important and how these are built and maintained

To be able to effectively communicate with children and young people you must first understand how to speak appropriately for the Childs age level, cognitive level or language ability. For example, while speaking to a child which has English as an Additional Language, you would need to speak slower, with lots more annunciation and facial expression. To show them that they have my full attention I would repeat what they had said, correcting where necessary but giving a great deal of praise.

In order to build positive relationships with children and young people, you will need to take into consideration their age, behaviours and cultures and therefore adapt your communication skills and body language accordingly.

Some of the principles of building relationships with children, young people and adults are to be caring, understanding, respectful and accepting of other people for who they are. Building relationships with children needs extra attention as they can be very impressionable and the way we behave with them could affect the way they behave towards others, so being a good role model is very important. Setting agreed limits and boundaries with children will mean they learn what acceptable behaviour is and what is not and will help them to take responsibility for their own behaviour, in a school setting this could mean having a written agreement. Likewise with young people and adults you need to have agreed levels of acceptable behaviour when building relationships. Having respect for other people’s opinions and views and allowing others to express themselves even though we may disagree is also very important, as is letting children have their say. Treating others the way we would like to be treated ourselves and encouraging children and young people to do the same is an important lesson in relationship building as is being able to express our emotions and feelings openly but in an appropriate way. Encouraging children and young people to recognise and deal with emotions and feelings in a positive way will help build better relationships with adults as well as with each other. Maintaining a sense of humour and making things fun will go a long way towards building positive

T5 Working in partnership (families; multi-agency; more than one team) Working in partnership is key to benefitting children and young people in early year settings. Partnerships are formed with practitioners, families, carers and multi-agencies. Multi-agency work is different type of services that share the same interests and objectives brought together to work towards purposes. Whilst integrated work is everyone supporting children and young people working together for the child, meeting needs and improving life’s. Partnerships are formed with practitioners and families through the key worker system, communication, overcoming barriers, .

In order to develop a positive relationship with anyone it is important to be able to demonstrate effective communication skills, no relationship can start without verbal communication and the way that we speak to each other is important as it tells us a lot about the other person. In response to this you need to be able to show that you are listening so that you can respond in an appropriate manner. How we communicate depends on the person; it differs whether this be adult to adult, child to child, adult to child the style of communication is always needed to be altered. For effective communication to take place you need to be at a similar level with the person you are communicating with so it doesnâ€TMt appear that someone has more power than the other.

For this assignment, I had to develop one new idea for involving families and their student’s progress. My cooperating teacher mentioned to me that she would either email or call her students’ parents. She said that she would contact parents through email to let them know when their student is doing well in class and she would call parents when she has a problem or issue. My cooperating teacher recently had to call two parents because the two students were disrupting the class and always talking when they are supposed to be paying attention or doing independent work. My cooperating teacher said that both of the parents responded to her well and they said that they would talk to their child about the talking and disrupting the class. After contacting the parents, my cooperating teacher said that she noticed a change in one of the students, but the other student still continued to talk and disrupt the class.

When it comes to raising a kid every parent wants to be the best parent. Many of them wonder if they are giving the right environment for the physical and behavioral growth of their kids. The reality is; most parents do not remain the best parents or at least good parents.

Communication is a vital part of everyday life. Without communication we would not be allowed to express feelings, needs or even wants. Communication is more complicated than just speaking to one another. Some families suffer from the lack of communication and it is most important to keep a good communication flow through families.

Everyone is responsible for developing positive relationships with parent and the community. This would include the administrators, certified teachers, teaching aides, secretaries, custodians, maintenance, and bus drivers. As in the video the principal talked about how it is important to make sure that all the staff felt like they were part of the team and was aware of what was happening in the school. The community sees any employee of the school district to be a trusted individual that should be able to explain and talk about what the school is doing. It is important for an administrator to have an open relationship with all staff where they feel like they can have input on decisions about school issues. No matter what their job title is they should feel like they are an integral part of the team. This in turn will allow all school employees to feel comfortable developing that positive relationships with the parents and community.

If we talk about Christianity point of view Holy bible lays down “Wives submit yourself into your own husbands as unto the Lord.”
