Relationship Relfection

Having a positive relationship with family and friends is very important.  We need to have strong relationships so we always have someone we can depend on to be there for us.  I have a very strong relationship with my family.  My husband and two sons are so important to me.  My husband is very supportive of everything that I do.  I also have a very close relationship to my mother.  She always helps me in any way that she can and is also supportive of me. 

My relationship with my mother with a very positive one.  She raised me, mostly by herself, when I was younger and growing up.  She worked very hard to raise me in the right way and teach me right from wrong.  She always put me and my needs before her own.  I feel like she is my best friend. 

My relationship with my husband is also a positive one.  We were drawn to each other from the moment we met.  We became very close and had a lot of the same interests.  We became friends first and stayed friends for a few months.  I believe this helped our relationship because we really got to know each other before we got married. 

I believe I have the best children ever.  My sons are 3 and 1.  My relionship with my oldest can be hard at times.  My son was recently diagnosed with sensory processing disorder.  We have a lot of challenges, but we continue to work through them and each day I feel our relionship grows stronger.  My youngest son is a mommy's boy.  He is attached to my hip at all times.

It is difficult to maintain a positive relationship at all times.  There are struggles and disagreements from time to time.  Each person has to figure out ways to deal with issues and work through them.  This is the only want to maintain the relationship.  Talking and trying to work things out is a must.

My husband and I have a great relationship and I feel that are partners when it comes to raising our children.  I believe that all parents should have a partnership when it comes to raising their children.  Whether they are together or not, they must be partners when it comes to their children.  This is what is best for the child.

I hope that I can be a positive influence to the families of the children that I work with.  By having so many positive relationships in my own life, I hope that I can mentor and help build stronger relationships.
