I believe one of the most challenging parts of working with families happens when there is a lack of communication. I believe as long as everyone involved are communicating most difficult situations can be lessened. It can be challenging to have to talk to a family when their child has been having frequent behavioral issues or learning difficulties.
The most rewarding part to me is getting to experience with families the growth of their child. All the new milestones and achieved goals.

One of the most challenging parts of working with families is their busy schedule. For example, the exchange of information and ideas in person through one-on-one communication can be a challenge sometimes. Therefore there is the necessity to exchange information through other methods such as notes, emails and phone calls. One of the best parts of working with families is the learning experience gained from interacting with them. I believe we always can learn with one another and exchanging ideas with families is a great way to learn about new information, ideas and others. Moreover, by partnering with them I can support their children in a very positive and effective way.

One the most challenging part working with families are communication and being perfectionists. We work with families that most time don't give time to communicate to us. Even reminder through email, through child's folder, visible posting and more more reminder and request. I understand that working parents is very challenging. But communication is a key to a great success. Successful day of the child in our care for example. Some parents don't let us know that a child is not sleeping well or had not given breakfast yet and some are sick that parents don't communicate us about.
Other challenging part working with parents is being perfectionist of the parents. We had some parents that everyday asking about our food served even though we already write it down in our daily report. They don't like when their child come home with dirty clothes and why their child got dirty. They will give us some tips on how to handle their child's behavior, but the problem is, they want us to punish their child in our care because they said that what we do at home, and they don't want their child to get confuse. Very challenging parents. It takes so mush energy and work to handle them. But we are glad that our director and the owner handle and resolve it professionally.

One of the most challenging aspects of working with families is not knowing how they will react when you have to deal with giving them difficult information about their child's conduct. At the same time these kinds of conversations can strengthen the relationship between caregiver and family and sometimes you can find out more about what's going on at home to understand a child's need at school.

One of the most difficult challenges is trying to help a student and there is no home support and the parents aren't involved in the child's development. Students that have very little to no discipline at home can be very challenging to work with at school.

I would say one of the most challenging things working with families would be the negative feed back that needs to be addressed. I would say the most rewarding aspect would be knowing that the families are happy and trusting in your care and knowledge regarding their child. Also knowing that the child feels safe and enjoys being with me as an alternate caregiver.

For me is scheduling but that's also just because I'm in school right now. It's very difficult for me to pick the classes I need and still go to work.

One of the most challenging parts of working with families happens when there is a lack of communication.
The most rewarding part is seeing the pride in self when children share their skills and its evidence to parents.

One of the most challenging parts of working with families is the lack of communication, some parents are in a hurry, others are not enthused to talk so it makes it difficult to communicate. The most rewarding part is growing a storng relationship with the child and the family trusting me to take care of their child.

One of the most challenging parts of working with families maintaining an open and honest communication. Making sure that each family's needs are meet and that they feel that their concerns are being heard. The exchange of information and ideas through one-on-one communication can be a challenge sometimes. Due to generational, culture, etc differences misunderstandings occur. One of the best parts is the personal relationships you build with the children. They are so rewarding.
