I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of lands and waters on which I live and work. I acknowledge the Wadawurrung people; I acknowledge the elders of the past; I acknowledge the elders who lead at present and I particularly acknowledge the elders of the future who are growing up now.

I'd say my future practices and approaches to working with families have been enriched.  I now have greater understanding of the diversity, strategies to approaching, building and maintaining relationships, communication skills and strategies.  Less stereotypical take on things and understanding my role is to support families not judge them and to ensure those working in my team are also supportive and non-judgmental, reinforcing professionalism and acting as a leader. .

Critical reflection - what I have learned

# data[].attributes.body
Each family looks different, we can't have one size fits all approaches to partnerships with families
Forming strong, honest, reciprocal relationships with families lead to better outcomes for children
Our relationships with families should be motivated by wanting the best for the child in their learning and development
When working with professionals, we need to acknowledge their strengths and knowledge's
Working through differences in opinion, whether that be with families or other professionals helps us to grow and learn

Partnership have become more clear to me in terms of the true definition of what it means. Before studying i probably would of understood it as just a conversation between two parties, however now i know it is more in-depth and meaningful then I ever thought. Partnerships have influenced my understanding by implementing how important they are into my practice and how without a meaningful one, consequences may follow. This will influence my practice by persuading me to make better connections with other caregivers and partners involved, with this knew knowledge i can implement more knowledge rather then just my own.

A limited, incorrect, incomplete, misinformed view of something or someone.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe stereotypes are groupings of people based on our presumed, and often limited and/or incorrect, knowledge of them. Stereotypes are usually hurtful, offensive or damaging, because they put people in a box, rightly or wrongly, without considering all aspects of their personality, skills or experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
i would describe stereotypes as an assumption people have about certain prior to knowing the uniqueness of the person or idea. i think stereotypes are ways in which people can form a general idea about something without having to properly know it.

Overtime I think there has been a merge in the communication methods we use personally and professionally. As more businesses are moving online, a lot of correspondence happens through social networking sites such as facebook and instagram. I personally prefer messaging or emailing as opposed to phone calls as this can be done in your own time and allows you to be prepared with the information you may need when answering questions or creating plans.

Excellent ideas about the barriers to participation  

# data[].attributes.body
These lists that look at the range of barriers to participation are excellent and have considered many areas.

# data[].attributes.body
Migrant and refugee families may find it difficult to connect with educators and other families in the educational setting based on differences in their lived experiences, language barriers, low socio-economic status and cultural integration issues. Other families may experience barriers in the form of work and family commitments, or a lack of encouragement and invitation from educators. These barriers can often be misinterpreted as lack of interest in their child's learning experience.
- Angela P

# data[].attributes.body
There are a number of reasons why families may not participate in activities within the educational setting. I have listed some below.

-work hours limit availability
-extended family pick up and drop off
-commitments with other children
-family structures (divorce, break down, shared custody etc)
-lack of confidence
-lack of a sense of belonging with the educational setting
-lack of motivation to be involved in child's learning (may not be aware of the benefit)
-communication issues between parent and educational setting

# data[].attributes.body
It can be recognised that factors such as economic factors such as their work place that may clash with activities. Their family structure that may involve employment in another country or area can possibly another barrier.

However, as mentioned above there are many different types of family structures and this can create a barrier, step families and structures that involve divorced caregivers may cause difficulty in attending and interacting in activities.
