Childcare workers have a responsibility for the children. They are required to care for their well-being and their physical and mental safety. This can be done by observing, considering individual needs and demonstrating positive attitudes.
In order to develop a positive relationship with children and their families/carers, the ability to communicate and interact effectively is essential. Empathy and a non-judgemental approach are required. Considering the needs and feelings of the children and their families/carers, showing respect and compassion in specific circumstances, can establish their trust.
A good relationship and establishing parents' trust from the outset is vital in order for them to feel happy and confident to cooperate with you and leave their children in your care. Someone who is polite, professional and friendly will give the children and parents more confidence which will lead to a good relationship. In order to maintain the relationship, parents must be listened to and their views and wishes respected, as well as their right to confidentiality. Any problems or successes should be identified and shared between the carers and parents.
This will help you gain further knowledge and understanding of the child's needs and the needs of the parents/carers and what is important in order for the child to develop and realise their full potential. Success will be dependent on the relationship established between the staff, children and parents.
