Families and Communities

From the lesson on working with communities and families, it is evident that family

structures are different, and families encounter different situations. The family structure in the

current society is different from the past days. Teachers must be aware of varying family

structures and the family structures of their students so that they can handle some situations

involving families, especially with the early childhood learners. Regardless of the diverse family

factors, some cases are general in all families, and others are different (Buchanan & Buchanan,

2017). For example, when it comes to voluntary services in the childhood program, every parent

is involved regardless of the family structure. Family situations and factors can affect childhood

learning in various ways. Still, the educator should always find a way of making sure that the

learners receive quality learning and the involvement of family in the child’s developmental life.

Some situations face children as they grow up. We all don't choose where to be born;

thus, children's decisions are defined by their family and problems around the family in

childhood. Therefore, childhood educators have a significant role to play in a child's life and help

them overcome the situation and live an everyday childhood life. One of the issues is

homelessness. Many families suffer from homelessness due to parents’ job losses, divorces and

separations, and other factors. Homelessness dramatically affects children, and as a childhood

educator, it is paramount to have effective communication with such families. One way of

enhancing effective communication is paying visits to the homeless families and creating a solid

bond with them. I would also involve the family in the childhood programs activities where they

might network with other families. I would assure them that I will always be there for them if

they need help, such as food or clothing. This will enhance two-way communication.
