RELATIONSHIP REFLECTION




Relationships/Partnerships are important to me because they contribute to our confidence, health, and social skills. We tend to feel and seem more confident when we are surrounded by people who care about us and who we care about. I have heard that when people are involved in healthy relationships, they tend to be healthier and live longer lives. I think that our social skills are improved when we are involved in healthy relationships. I am very blessed to have so many positive relationships in my life. My most important relationships are the ones I have with my family. I do not know what I would do without them. They are my life!
Parents: They are the reason I am here and are responsible for me being the way I am today. They inspire me to achieve great things! Great role models!
Sisters: They are very special to me. We tell secrets and give and seek advice. We fight at times, but in the end, we are always there for each other no matter what!
Husband: He is my best friend. We make a great team and always work together. He really brings out the best in me! I am so happy to have him in my life.
Daughter: She is the reason I smile even when there is nothing to smile about. I am so happy to be her mother. She makes me be the best person I can be because I want to be the best role model for her.
All of these relationships have an impact on my work as an effective early childhood professional because they all bring out the best in me. They make me want to achieve great things and be a great role model. These are qualities that I feel all teachers should have. We, as educators, should want to be the best role models for the children we teach.

  1. Hi Ashley,

    I really enjoyed your post. The photos of your family are very nice. My family is also brings out the best in me. Your family and friends are the ones that see things in you that you don't always see in yourself. This is what motivates me and gives me the confidence to accomplish my dreams.

  5. Hi Ashley,
    I agree that as educators we need to set a great example as far as relationships are concerned. I make it a point to talk about my family relationships with my students. Many of them come from homes in which relationships hold little if any value. They need to see that relationships can be a good thing, that they can work, and that people really do matter.
