Relationship Reflection

Relationships are the strongest human bond we create. Out of these relationship energy is born and produced. It is important for us to connect with other on a variety of levels social, emotional, physical, and mental to feel complete as a human. As I reflect on relationship I have established through the years I think of unconditional love. All the people who I have a positive relationship or partnership loves me at times more then I can love myself. 

Here are list of the people in my life who I have a deep and everlasting relationship with:

My parents- both of my parents have been so influential in my life they were my first supporters, teachers, and role models. They provided me with all the basic necessities and with almost all of me wants. They gave me fundamental values that has stuck with me to this day. Through out the years our relationship has matured over time and has transitioned from parent- child relationship to a true friendship. We have discovered each of our unique qaulities and differences and come to except them. 

My siblings- I have two sisters, two brother, a brother in-law and a sister in-law. We are all really close and get a long great know that we are all older. When we where young we fought like normal siblings but as we got older we naturally got closer. We spend lots of time together, talk and consult each other for advice, and support each other through discovering their dreams. 

My niece and nephew- I just love them both so much. My niece is 13 and my nephew will be 1 in July. I really try to be apart of their lives, I spend a lot of time with them, and treat them like my own.

My husband- I just got married last August and I'm completely in love with my husband who is my best friend, business partner and biggest supporter. He has two sons who I am now developing a wonderful relationship with. I enjoy spending time with them and having the family I thought I could never have. My husband and I are extremely honest  with one another and communicate with each immediately if something is bothering us. We respect each others opinions and try to understand how they feel.

What I have learned over time is that ever relationship will have its tough times but it is through these time that  character is built. the ups and downs of relationship helps to build social competency and if appropriate guidance is provided along they way you will be able to gain more effective ways to build positve relationships. As an early childhood professional I understand how important relationships are when dealing with young children. Children need to establish positive relationships with caregivers, peers and other adults. They skills to build effective relationships through see how other close to them build relationships and interacting with other and building their own relationships. It is my job to help young children and their families understand and foster the relationships that they build around them by facilitating and modeling appropriate ways to communicate, resolve conflict, and support the people who are the closest to them.
