1. I could talk to the parents about rather they are pacting what is being taught at school, with their children at home. 2. I could provide the parents with resources, such as books and other important learning materials for at home us. Honesty How honest are you with parents?

Rate: 4 List at least 2 ideas of how you can improve in your honesty with parents. 1. I could improve my honesty with parents by speaking plainly and being direct with the parents, without being cruel. 2. I could also prepare myself for the honesty from the parents, thus allowing myself to be more open and honest with them in return. My Reflections: (worth 10 points) Reflect on the module, looking back at the value for you!  First, review the Learning Outcomes and Key Words. Then, write about significant gains or learning that you acquired through the module learning resources and activities, and reflect on how this new information is meaningful and valuable to your current or future work with families and children. What have you learned? What do you find most valuable to you and why? What would you like to know more about? With each module you will complete this reflective activity by thinking about what you have learned and what the content means to your professional growth. You have three options for sharing your personal reflections: a Journal, a Wordle, or a Web. The instructions and samples for the three options are available on My Reflections Instructions, which is attached to the dropbox. Read about the three options. Select one of the three and complete your reflection. Submit it on this document with your Reflective Activity. Be sure to review the grading rubric, also attached to the dropbox, before completing your activity. In this module, I learned about the many roles that parents play and the implications of them for teachers. I also leaned about the many stressors of being a parent, and what the parents that are raising this generation of children think and how they feel. I also learned the importance of attachments between a child and their caregiver. Feelings of attachments help with later social developments and relationships. It also helps the child to develop trust in the caretakers, helping improve behaviors and the way they interact with the caretakers. I would like to know more about ways to improve my relationships with parents.
