In response to being asked about how to go deeper with one’s practice with children, we offer these monthly musings as invitations for you. You might take the invitation up
The opportunities are endless.
We will pose these musings monthly but use them as you feel moved to. You might spend more than a month with one question. Or you might revisit a question at a later time. Each time you visit or revisit a question, new possibilities emerge.
Practice of relationship
“A practice of relationships describes the complex and dynamic relationships with diverse community members and begins as you learn with and alongside children and families.”
Flight, p.50
Think about the relationships you have with the children and their families. In what ways do they recognize and build on their strengths? How do you think each family experiences safe, stable, and nurturing care with you? What tells you that?
