Building Positive Relationships

People are brought together and are connected by forming relationships throughout their lives. Some relationships are important, and others not so much. One of the reasons why relationships are fragile is because they take years and years to build a trusting bond, but only takes a mere second to go to ruin because of a simple mistake. In life, I have learned that the only relationships that are worth keeping are the ones that do not constantly make you walk on eggshells.

To establish positive and productive relationships with families a childcare provider must create a give and take interaction with the parents as well as the child. As a childcare provider I make it my mission to establish this kind of relationship my using social media as a medium for this relation. Class messenger is an app that parents and teachers can use to stay connected. Keeping a class progress folder is another way teachers can let the parents see what their children are working on, thus in return helping them see what they are learning and what areas they need help in.

Being able to build positive relationships with others helps children and young people to gain the most from being in school and is important to ensure the communication of information between children and the adults responsible for them. We are more likely to build a positive relationship with someone when we can communicate effectively with them.

In order to build positive relationships with children and young people, you will need to take into consideration their age, behaviours and cultures and therefore adapt your communication skills and body language accordingly.

In order to develop a positive relationship with anyone it is important to be able to demonstrate effective communication skills, no relationship can start without verbal communication and the way that we speak to each other is important as it tells us a lot about the other person. In response to this you need to be able to show that you are listening so that you can respond in an appropriate manner. How we communicate depends on the person; it differs whether this be adult to adult, child to child, adult to child the style of communication is always needed to be altered. For effective communication to take place you need to be at a similar level with the person you are communicating with so it doesnâ€TMt appear that someone has more power than the other.

Healthy Relationships: To have healthy relationships upwards, outwards, and upwards you must be self-disciplined. Remove temptations and reach out to others. You are never alone, be in community with your local church and different church activities.

When we think of relationships, do we ask ourselves what it truly takes to have mutual ones? We learned about the types of relationships from reading Of Mice and Men and watching movies like The Mighty and Tuesdays with Morrie; what about in real life, however? What does it take to have a mutual relationship with someone? What factors go into this? Through the movies, we learned that relationships can come in all shapes and colors, and sometimes these relationships don’t start off healthy. There are times where relationships can start off on a parasitic foot. Or maybe they end in parasitism. While reading this, you’ll get a glance into the different types of relationships, the factors that go into healthy relationships and what to watch out for when you’re unsure.

Do our relationships with others define how caring and loyal we are as a person? In the stories What of This Goldfish Would You Wish?” by Etgar Keret, “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, and “Without Title” by Diane Glancy; the characters and their relationships with people define how the relationships can be an influence on us. Our relationships with people define if we’re caring and/or loyal we ACTUALLY are.

In a passage of Roberta M. Gilberts textbook Extraordinary Relationships: A New Way of Thinking About Human Interactions (1992), she argues “Excellence in relationships, for most people, ranks alongside unified field theory among the inscrutable problems of the world” (p. 113). I believe this statement accurately sums up how there is no such thing as a perfect relationship, only two individuals working on their own personal level of maturity, which in turn will lead to a well-functioning relationship. There were several concepts presented throughout chapters 13 – 20 and in the video discussions. They were each of equal importance and each greatly impacts the understanding of relationships and how to move towards better relationships.

There has been some recent argument against the current understanding of the place of relationships in psychotherapy. While most theories argue that relationships are important or even essential to good mental health, other theorists claim that the way relationships are conceptualized in these theories is insufficient (Slife & Wiggins, 2009). Most of these theories conceptualize the individuals first, and then talk about the way these individuals relate. Relationships are often understood as two or more independent self-contained individuals interacting (Slife & Wiggins, 2009). An alternative way to look at relationships is offered by relational psychoanalysts and other theorists, though again it should be noted that

Gratitude is omnipresent in society. People express gratitude in the form of gifts, favors, support and assistance. Empirical literature on the emotion has shown gratitude to promote feelings of contentment (Walker & Pitts, 1998) hope, happiness, and pride (Overwalle, Mervielde, & De Schuyter, 1995). However, what about relationship satisfaction? Specifically, can expressing gratitude verbally enhance perceived relationship satisfaction in close relationships?
