There are many people in my life that I have positive relationships with and that influence me greatly. Here are some great influential relationships in my life:
My husband, Brandon, is a great influence in my life. We have been together for 7 years and married for 2. He has taught me a lot about myself and what it means to be a better person. We know that our relationship cannot survive without certain factors. We continuously love each other and care for each other. We also have communication and trust which contributes to our relationship. Even though there are troubles and arguments which happen in every relationship we work through them and continue to love one another.
My parents were the earliest and most influential relationship that I have. They have taught me so much throughout my life and I am very grateful for all that they have done. For us to have a positive relationship there has to be trust and communication. Growing up my parents always encouraged me to try new things and to be myself. Of course through my teenage years I didn't always think they were right or knew what was best for me but as an adult I can see now that they tried their best to raise me in a way that they through would benefit me and my well-being.
Through these relationships I am able to learn and understand that each relationship takes work and effort to maintain. I have learned that through my personal relationships in life that certain elements contribute to that of my professional relationships/partnerships in the early childhood field. Communication, care, patience, trust, and other aspects contribute to a positive relationship in the early childhood profession. Having this positive relationship with children, colleagues, and families all ensure the well-being of children and their developmental growth.
Hi Heather, I enjoy reading your post about the relationships among people around you. I have the same feeling toward what you said, “Of course through my teenage years I didn't always think they were right or knew what was best for me but as an adult I can see now that they tried their best to raise me in a way that they through would benefit me and my well-being.” As an adult, now I am characterised by the way how I was brought up by my parents. Spending most time with young children as an educator, I think we also have the power of affecting how children are characterised. Therefore, we should model and guide children to a better development in a positive way. Thanks again for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog about the different relationships in your life. I agree that growing up I did not agree with all of my mother's decision regarding my care. I lost my dad at the age of ten. My mother became a single parent of six boys and two girls. At times, I thought my mother was so strick, but as an adult, I now realize that she was doing what she thought was best for our care and well being. I often thank her for the way that she raised us because she did a very good job taking care of us. We all graduated from high school and went to college.
Hello Heather,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about your family and looking at your pictures you shared. It is wonderful to know the importance of building a good marriage by the caring for, love and communication you and your husband share together. people are in a relationship for years and have not shown hardly what you have. I can truly admit having good positive relationship with our families can bring out the best in us; especially when the support, encouragement, trust and love is given early in life even throughout our adulthood.
