Relationships allow you to listen and be heard, to support and be supported, to love and be loved. A barrier to maintaining positive relationships is not communicating often and effectively.
The most important people in my life are God, my husband and my children. My husband and I have a partnership. Our partnership works well because we each contribute in different ways, working together for a common goal of raising our children.
My relationship with extended family is not as strong as it used to be. Because our family is mobile, we have learned to mostly depend on each other. This dependence has made our relationships closer.
I’ve learned to accept people for who they are and not for whom I think they should be or want them to be. This ability will be of great value to the children and families I serve in the early childhood field.
