    I would create a positive relationship with the parents by being honest with them and reminding them of the good things that their child did that day rather than all the bad things. I would try and ask them about their day and how we can make their day better or easier.

    Being hospitable is the first step in developing a relationship with the families. Start off your conversations with small talk, then move on to discussing the issue in more detail, coming up with solutions as a group, and deciding on a strategy. After that, you can conclude on a positive note so that the families can depart knowing that their child or children are in capable care.

    I would say sandwich technique works great when discussing about any problem. Also, using brainstorming to generate more ideas and this also gives an inclusiveness for the parents

    A partnership is when the parents and the caregivers have equally important and unique roles in children’s lives. It is important for providers and families because both parties want what is best for the child. It is important to communicate with parents and caregivers about their child (s).

    Always be welcoming and open to questions from parents. Never make them feel like you are against their child. Always offer support and resources to help support the family.

    always be honest with them treat them with respect, don’t be judgmental, and also always make sure to communicate the positives and negatives with them.

    There’s an importance to starting from a positive place. You want to show that you’re capable and knowledgable, and that you have their child’s best interest at heart. The sandwich method is really helpful if there is something concerning to say about the child. Make them feel like you know their child specifically, and that the child is getting attention, instead of lumped with the other kids.

    <strong style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color);”>My advice is to always communicate in a positive direction. You may have some issues or frustrations at times with the family or child in the classroom but always making sure to communicate effectively and keep the communication in a positive direction will be my biggest tip.

    To create and maintain a good relationship with parents have a strong sense of communication between each other and come to solutions together while also avoiding judge mental language. After discussing with parents about any issue make sure to reevaluate in the near future to communicate progress or to talk about more options.

    Make yourself available to parents. Show them you are interested in speaking with them. Listen. Provide resources.

    Making it a point to talk with them that is specific to them and their family/interests.

    To do this I think it requires communication and cooperation on both ends. The caregivers should be realistic and honest about what the child requires, and the providers should be transparent about how they can meet expectations and care.

    make sure you are subjective and empathetic. you don’t know what is going on outside of the classroom until they tell you
