Stop Reflect 3

China will implement several practices to develop a trusting partnership with Aaron and his father. These include: 1) Scheduling meetings at times convenient for the father to discuss observations of Aaron's strengths and goals. 2) Focusing on Aaron's strengths when discussing concerns and exploring mutual changes to resolve issues. 3) Using the "sandwich method" to share difficult news by emphasizing strengths around weaknesses and involving the father in any decisions like a referral for evaluation. The overall goal is to make shared decisions that respect the unique needs of Aaron and his family.

Instructions

Complete the implementation plan to show how China will use specific partnership-oriented

practices to develop a trusting partnership with Aaron.

Goal: To develop a trusting partnership with Aaron

1. Practices for Developing an Initial Friendly Relationship (Beginning Ground)

Identify three practices from Handout 4.1 and Activity 4.10a that you believe are particularly

appropriate to use with Aaron in developing an initial friendly relationship and describe what

China will do to implement these practices.

1. Asking families what they see as their child’s strengths and sharing your observations.

a. China can implement this practice by doing observations on the child throughout

the day so she can show Aaron’s father her concerns about his behavior.

2. Holding meetings at times and places suited to families’ needs and availability whenever

possible.

a. China can implement this practice by creating meetings in a timely manner. In the

video, it mentions that the father is always in a rush so she doesn’t have time to

catch up. Scheduling meetings that fit both their schedule, China can finally

communicate with the father about her concerns.

3. Asking families’ opinions about goals for the child.

a. China can implement this practice by communicating with Aaron’s father and

creating goals together on what they wish Aaron to accomplish.


2. Practices for Making Shared Decisions (Middle Ground)

Identify three practices from Handout 4.1 and Activity 4.10a that you believe are particularly

appropriate to use with Aaron in making shared decisions, and describe what China will do to

implement these practices.

1. Sharing with families that often people place too much emphasis on the child’s needs and

that you would like to also focus on the child’s strengths

a. What China can do when sharing with the families, is instead of focusing on the

child’s needs, she needs to focus on his strengths. She can communicate with the

father using the sandwich method. When she is talking to the father about her

concerns about his son, she should first mention his strengths than the concern or

weakness and then end on a good note like another strength.

2. When addressing behavior problems, exploring with the family mutual changes, both at

home and in the program, to resolve the problem

a. What China can do to implement this practice is to mention her concerns along

with his strengths, as mentioned previously. Together they can come up with a

solution that can be resolved at home and in the program. I would suggest China

to review the NAEYC code of ethical conduct to help guide to the best resolution.

3. Brainstorming a wide range of strategies for achieving goals with the family, and making

decisions that will meet the unique needs of their child.

3. Practices for Addressing Challenging Issues (Firm Ground)

Identify three practices from Handout 4.1 and Activity 4.10a that you believe are particularly

appropriate to use with Aaron in addressing challenging issues, and describe what China will do

to implement these practices


1. When sharing difficult news, reminding families of the family’s and child’s strengths that

will help the child through difficult times

a. As mentioned before, China should use the sandwich method to remind the family

about the child’s strengths. Knowing the child’s strengths can help use that skill to

accommodate and meet their weaknesses.

2. Demonstrating how disagreements or differences of opinion do not interfere with your

commitment to the family and child

a. China can implement this practice by being flexible in accommodating the change

of the family and child’s needs.

3. Involving families in all decisions about the child (for example, the decision for referral

for a comprehensive evaluation).

a. If there wasn’t any improvement in Aaron’s behavior, China can refer Aaron’s

father to a child behavioral therapist to better help reduce Aaron’s behavior

problems.
