Relationship Reflection


Relationships and family partnerships are essential to development cognitively, emotional and socially.  Relationships have an impact on individuals being successful and having positive productive future.  Positive, supportive relationships are important during the earliest years of life; they are essential not only cognitive development but also healthy in emotional development. Relationship’s build character and strengthens peoples understanding help build trust and respect of others. Communication is an important key in having a successful relationship’s.



Koran is my husband and our relationship is built on a foundation of love, commitment, and trust. Our union is based on fulfilling the purpose in life that God has for us and being happy, raising our children in a God fearing home.




My mother Denise and I have a very special relationship. My mother is very supportive, always giving spiritual advice and corrects me when I’m wrong.  She makes me feel special by the little things done to show how much I am appreciated. The relationship I have with my mother can’t be replaced.





My father Ernest and I have a father daughter relationship that is strong.  My father was the provider for his family, very nurturing and caring of his family. He also taught me the importance of family. We spent lots of time together doing things that I liked to do as well as things he liked to do. One thing I can say about my father is that he talks the talk and walks the walk leading by example. I really value the relationship between my father and I.



Communicating with each other can be a challenge in having an effective relationship. You have to be open to the opinions and feelings of others. If you are not open to the opinions of others this may cause conflict in the relationship. Trust and respect for others are components of a successful relationship.  



My experiences with my relationships will be the foundation for the relationships that I build with my students and their families. I will bring the same components that I value in other relationships to build upon in the relationships that I form with my students and their families to be impactful in my work as an effective early childhood professional.

  1. You have great relationships with your family! It is great how you can depend on them to be there for you. Relationships do help you become the person you are and I feel from reading your blog that you are a very special person! Your students are very lucky to have you as their teacher.

  3. Ebony,

    I enjoyed looking at the pictures of your family and learning about the relationships you have with each of them. You are completely correct, we can use the relationships we have with those around us to help build relationships with our students and their families.
