Building relationships in children and families

The post has two assignments

1:Building relationships in children and families

Critical Reflection

Question 1 (250 words):
Imagine you have just commenced work in an early years setting. You are focused on getting to know the children and families and building relationships in order to enable you to effectively fulfill your role. One of your colleagues (who is not qualified to make a diagnosis) is very concerned that a family in the setting are ‘in denial’ about their child. The child does not have a label (although the family do see a pediatrician), but your colleague is “sure the child has autism”. The family are very supportive of the child and keen to assist in anyway possible to ensure their child’s genuine inclusion, but are not interested in labelling their child.
Drawing on the lecture and problematising the labelling and the concept of denial, explore this situation and consider why the family might not wish to have their child labelled, where the difficultly lies in this situation and how you would approach the situation going forward.
