Question

The importance of communicating positively with children and families?

Answer 1

just say yes to everything they say!!! lol

Answer 2

always speak the postive  - instead of don't do that - we say "use your walking feet - or use your inside voice" - leave out the negative words of don't and no.  Speaking with parents is the same way - we use the sandwich effect - something good, squeeze in what needs worked on - end with something else good.

Answer 3

How much are you going to pay me for doing your homework!?

Answer 4

It helps the families feel at ease while their children are in school.  If the parents have a good relationship with their child's teacher, they won't worry about their child throughout their day at work.  Also, nobody knows more about a child then their family. They're a very good resource in learning about the child.

Answer 5

Very, very important.
