Working with families
Rena Shimoni (Author), Joanne Baxter (Author)
This book has been written for educators who value the prospect of expanding the scope of their practice in engaging families by focusing on three aspects: The professional context for educators in relation to their engagement with families, and the basic concepts essential to understanding the complex notion of family; The practice of engaging with and supporting all types of families by providing a foundation for educators to build relationships and share dialogue with families as equals who are invested in the best interest of the child; The diversity that exists within Canadian families--be it cultural, family structure, social and economic, or the particular life events experienced within the family. These aspects are explored from the perspective of the child, the parent, and the family, and then the role of the educator is considered in supporting the child and the family
