Relationship Reflection

Relationships are essential for growing. Meeting new people, learning from experiences with them contributes to growth. I have positive relationships with my family, my roommates, my mentors and my co-workers.Each of these are positive relationships because of communication. My family instilled great communication skills in me and I have realized that communication is vital for successful relationships. Challenges to developing and maintaining succesessful relationship can be distance and miscommunication. People change over time and events happen in different peoples lives everyday and if you are distant from the people you have relationships with, and you wish to maintain them, the communication factor must be in tact. Special characteristics  that are in these relationships consist of support, constant feedback on situations that are important in each of our lives, time spent, and the level of growth between the two that is achieved.My experiences with relationships impact my work as effective early childhood professional because it maintains a stable pace for all. When the partnerships and relationships are stable, it promotes well being in all other areas. It helps you start and develop relationships with your co-workers, children and parents.
