My hope that I have when working with children and families that come from diverse backgrounds is that I build a relationship with them. I want them to feel comfortable with our interactions and I want them to feel like they are welcome and that their children are in a safe environment where learning is important.
One goal for the early childhood field is that we as educators are sensitive to other cultures. I would like we as educators to realize that it is difficult for families that come from other cultural backgrounds to feel welcome and comfortable.
To my colleagues it has been a pleasure reading and responding not only to your blog's but to your discussion posts as well. My hope is that all of you reach your professional and personal goals on life and thank you all for this opportunity to learn with you. Good Luck!!
LaRoyia,
ReplyDeleteIt has been a pleasure reading your post as well as discussion board posts. I love how you would build a relationship with the families, for that is very important. It is difficult for families who come from different countries to feel comfortable in an atmosphere they have no knowledge of. We should embrace them and make those families feel accepted.
