Forming relationships with people is very important to me because
it is a way of connecting to individuals on a positive and meaning level. When connecting with people you tend to be happier,
friendlier and welcoming to others, compared to people being by themselves. Relationship also has validation of your
self-worth and security.
The people that I have manufactured positive, long lasting relationships
with are my mother, children, my best friend and my cat, Dior. One of the ways in which I maintain a
relationship with my mom is because we share a common dominator, our children. As a mom, I can see the struggle she went thru
raising me and my siblings the respectable and correct way. There have been
times that I ask her for advice when facing dilemmas in raising my own children. I can’t believe that I’m saying this but I’ve
known my best friend for over 25 years.
She is like another sister to me.
Growing up we shared everything from clothes as youths to advice as an
adult. Another way we have a positive
relationship is because of the respect and trust we developed over the years.
Some challenges that I have experience over
time in regards to forming a positive relationship is the time it takes to
build the trust and loyalty.
Relationships are not built overnight.
It may take years to really feel secure with sharing your personal
information with others. My experiences
with relationship have greatly benefited me in my employment as an early
childhood professional. It has taught me
that being patient can have many rewards.
And as educator, collaborating is one of our main tools in becoming
better teacher.
Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteYour right when it takes a while to build a relationship and for it to last as well. It's nice to hear you talk with your mother about raising your own children and getting advice from her. It sounds as though you have a great relationship with her. I don't know of very many people who can say that they have a best friend for over 25 years, its nice to know that you have someone like that. Thank you for sharing.
Some good relationships have challenges; it may take a minute to feel secure about sharing personal information about one’s self. Over time, a positive relationship takes time build trust and loyalty. Relationships can be a lot of work to maintain, and you and your partner have to give and take, additional, learning to express your feelings towards your partner.
