Take time building rapport, don’t rush it. Be warm, reassuring, and informative. Follow the parents’ lead by paying attention to their nonverbal cues and approaching conversations with cultural awareness. At the same time, be confident and clear in your communication. Share genuine praise about their child and affirm the parent’s role. Let them see the care and intention behind your work so they feel seen, valued, and able to trust you.

I think to create and maintain positive relationships with families, you need to make sure you are committed to engaging with them as early as possible. Show that you care upfront, instead of waiting until you need to address something. Make sure that you show you are thinking about the positives attributes that child brings, and never focusing solely on issues. Create a welcoming environment to feedback, and be quick to show understanding and not judgment.
