Empowering and supporting families is the best way to provide long lasting support for children.
Welcoming families: the tone of the relationship is set from the beginning so treating newly enrolled families with respect and encouragement is essential. Be sure to continue greeting families warmly every day. Open communication: create an environment of continuity, with consistent expectations and approaches for children at home and child care. Positive communication: really hearing families (active listening) and using "l statements" when speaking (more on communication will be in Module 8). Involvement: engage families in their children's care support and complement the family's role as the primary educator. Building parental self-esteem: find genuine means for communicating how important they are to their child. Encouraging competence: compliment their efforts, notice their child's successes, and treat them as knowledgeable partners. Acknowledge emotions - provide the language and the confidence that all emotions are acceptable.

To create a positive provider-family relationship you need to maintain honest and open communications (daily). Make sure that you are an active listener and keeping an open mind to the suggestions from families.

How can you take the lead in creating positive provider-family relationships?
I can take the lead in creating positive provider-family relationships by making my initial meet with parent/guardian a conversation about what they expect from them as their childcare provider but also allowing them to know what I will be working on with their child. I will also communicate with them my communication style, email, phone in person meets and ask them what is the best way that I can communicate with them. I will also make sure I am using language that is not subjective and not offensive when communicating concerns. One thing that I think helps is also pointing out successes as well as opportunities of growth

The best way to take lead in creating a positive relationship with the family is to always invite them to be a part of the planning of the child's developmental process.

As a childcare provider, I should always make sure that my tone is friendly and never accusatory. It is my job to provide observations only and to never give constructive criticism unless it is asked for. I want to make sure that the information that I provide is accurate and that I am open to opinions and suggestions as much as I would hope the families are.
