How can you take the lead in creating positive provider-fami

[Will]

By empowering and supporting families, and that can only be done if you first establish trust. No matter what your differences it must be understood that their is a mutual interest in doing what is best for the child. Always be sure to welcome families and offer open, positive communication. Involve families and compliment their role as primary educators.

We have to talk to the families of our children. Communication and a key to a good relationship. Our decoder needs to be the same from the beginning, we must make clear to the family that we are together, that we must work together, that our common good and the children and us, so, for the better for the child will be done. If you position yourself showing firmness in your attitudes and decision and also a good start, do not be authoritarian but be a leader and prepared for it.

by growing that bond from the first moment you meet the new family and child you care for. they will feel more comfortable asking questions and more confident in not only you as the caregiver but also as themselves as parents. making them feel a little better about themselves and their skills helps alot, positive feedback helps alot.

Talking to parents and being outgoing asking questions about the children is a good start. There needs to be trust and always always communication.

I can take the lead in fostering healthy parent-provider relationships by facilitating frequent and clear communication. This enables the partnership to truly be on the same page when it comes to maintaining routines, teaching skills, and helping children learn. I can also be sure to ask ongoing questions about how a child behaves and what he does at home, so that the child can feel comfortable not only at home but also at school.

I think it is best to begin by showing the family that you are available and open to listen. They need to know that their input will be valued.

By taking the time to get to know the families by having a meeting after class to catch up on what their child has been doing class and what progress they have made in certain areas. Having a meeting to discuss the child's development will give the parent the opportunity to share some insight and ways they would like their child's development to be handled. This type of open communication will create a positive provider/family environment.
