Please explain why positive relationships with other adults are important
As adults, we need to show children how to get along with one another and we should model the behaviour we expect from them. If we are able to show them that we value and respect others they are much more likely to learn to do the same. Having positive relationships with other adults is also important because we are then more likely to communicate information to one another. Parents and other professionals who come into school are more likely to offer support if communication is strong and effective, and this will in turn benefits the children.
Staff should not only develop positive relationships with other work colleagues but also with other professionals, parents, carers and other family members. If you have a positive relationship with the parents or carers of a child then they are more likely to trust and respect you. This is important as there maybe a time when you need certain information about the child. If the parent or carer trusts and respects you then they are more likely to co-operate with you and give you the information. This will allow you to get to know the child better and allow you to identify what support the child may need while in your care. You may have to work with other professionals eg a speech therapist. By working with them as part of a team, and giving them as much relevant information on the child as you can, will in able them to identify the child’s needs. The relevant support can then be given.
Positive relationships with other adults will benefit all involved. Children will benefit when the adult’s around them are able to collaborate, they will notice the atmosphere and model their own behaviour on the way in which you treat each other. Parents are more likely to share information and support you if you have built up a strong relationship with them and children feel secure in a positive atmosphere of mutual trust.
