Relationship Reflection

Relationships are important within family, friends, children, and working in early childhood. Relationships have been the core foundation for family and security throughout generations. In order to maintain relationships you have to be able to communicate with one another. There are two types of communication nonverbal and verbal. The two should work together to relay information. In my experience when people don't use their voice to tell a love one, friend, or even in the work field what they are thinking or feeling, their actions can do it instead with the body language, making faces, and so on. Sometimes both communications work together to emphasize an important message. For example with my husband we communicate all the time to make sure one we are on one accord when it comes to raising our children. Two with my sorority sisters we talk everything out no matter what it is. We cry together, pray together, and fellow ship together. That's what family do even though my friends, or sorority sisters are not my biological family, I love them and I want us to maintain a positive relationship. I am not saying its always positive but the key to everything is communication and being in early childhood you have to maintain the same open communication with the families and children. Believe it or not whenever their is tension amongst co-workers or mother and father. Children can sense if adults are not getting along and the same goes for parents keeping that line of communication open lets parents know they can trust you and this will allow them to open up to you and share information because they are comfortable with you just like family.

Some challenges developing and maintaining relationships in my life that I have learned if the other party isn't willing to open up or communicate with you  especially if you have maid yourself available when ever possible. Another challenge I have faced certain people who grow up not trusting or communicating have a hard time returning the same skill. As I have learned  in previous classes its starts as an infant caregivers showing you affection, love, communicating, and bonding with your baby will have a positive outcome as the child grows up.

Even though I couldn't put up all my pictures everyone who is in my life we all stay very close because we communicate with one another to keep the bond that we have.
