How does working with families relate to my job role? What are my strengths in relation to developing relationships with families? Are there any concerns I have when it comes to working with families? What would I like to develop my skills in? Example: I believe that partnerships with families are important. I have a large family and we are always very respectful of each other and value our opinions. I do become concerned about how families view me and whether they take me seriously because of my experience. I am also not sure how to approach families when there is a concern about their child. I feel that I am very approachable and easy to talk to. I feel I need to continue to observe others and develop my confidence with talking to families, and learning their names Date
