It
is required for all professionals be knowledgeable and experienced in the
practices in caring for young children. We as child providers must learn how to
develop healthy relationships between parents and families. We must never
forget how much valuable information we can learn about the children we take
care. The best information we can receive about the children are through by
communication skills. I hope to be a positive role model for both the parents
and children. I hope to learn how to present myself when communicating to young
children and families. It is necessary for me as a professional never use
negative body language. I expect to be the best successful professional that I
can be. My biggest hope is to meet all of my professors who help me to thrive
and accomplish my goals.

One
goal you would like to set for the early childhood field related to issued of
diversity, equity, and social justice.
One goal I would like
to establish is providing care for young children to fulfill my obligation. To
pursue ongoing training opportunities for me to maintain a quality profession
in early childhood education field. To be prepared by trainings, workshops,
conferences and meetings to help build cognitive skills. To help lay the foundations
for all young children from families to face challenges and influences and set
goals for themselves. I need to be qualified with the proper credentials,
knowledge, and experiences to promote positive values outcomes. To ensure the
best quality care for all young children who families are culturally diverse
and understand that all children have different learning experiences
strengthens, styles, and needs.

Hey Cedar! As always, I love reading your posts! I really like what you said about your goals and that was to pursue ongoing training opportunities for you to maintain a quality profession in early childhood. That is so important for us all. Professional development opportunities should not be taken lightly and should be at the forefront of every educator’s commitment to providing a quality education to all of their children. Best practices, and laws in the early childhood field are changing everyday and we need to stay abreast on the new and upcoming issues. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCedar,
ReplyDeleteI already know from the previous weeks that you are a wonderful role model for the children you teach. I think most of your "hopes" have already been accomplished. You are correct about us continuing our learning and training. The field of early childhood is ever changing and we must change with it. By keeping current, we can prepare ourselves with the challenges and struggles our children and families are living through. I too would like to meet many of our Professors. I would also like to me you as well as other colleagues. You have given me so much inspiration and have taught me to be grateful for my privileges. Thank you so much and may all your hopes and goals be met.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I also feel that, as being educators, the fact of building healthy relationships is essential. It is important for all individuals to communicate with each other so that forms of discussion can evolve. We can also learn from each other and learn how to idealize the essence of living, collaboration, and peacemaking. I feel that having healthy relationships from the get go can truly enhance learning.

Hi Cedar,
ReplyDeleteI agree that being an effective communicator is beneficial when working on building and maintaining healthy relationships with children and their parents. We must be mindful of our words and actions when working in this field because the things we do and say have such a huge influence on families. I also believe that professional development is key to helping educators to be fully prepared and better equipped to managing the issues they encounter in the field. I encourage you to continue to pursue your goals. I wish you success and it has been a pleasure getting to know you through your post and responses.
It is so true that we establish healthy relationships with the children and their parents. We spend so much time with these children everyday and their parents have entrusted them in our care. We suppose to make sure that we take care of them and keep them safe everyday they are with us. Building a great relationship with the parents makes the parents comfortable with them being in our class.
