I believe forming a bond and assuring that the families can trust me as a childcare provider would promote conversations about what’s going on in a child’s home life. Aside from communicating with the parents themselves, I’d also simply ask the child or look for signs that may provide insight or suggest that they’re dealing with issues at home. Conferences, consistent communication, and even formal home visits would teach me what a child’s home environment is like. This awareness directs my teaching practices because it’d allow me to address what the children may be experiencing at home in various ways. I’d be more sensitive to situations, have a greater bond with the children, better insight, and feel more prepared to teach the children. I’d be able to prepare lessons that are related, read and provide books about it, and do activities that would benefit them or help them
