Relationships and partnerships is what each individual was
born to strive for, it is part of our development and life. Autonomy is contribution to having developed
healthy relationship throughout life.
Over coming the diversity and bias nature of some relationships and
people. God created man to have an intimate
relationship with him and one another.
We are biologically hard-wired to socialize and develop healthy
relationships. Love and support are the
nature of healthy relationships and why we yearn for those traits from
others. No one person can survive
without interaction from other people, therefore we must learn to develop
healthy bonds and skills. Parents and
teachers should practice accurate and healthy communication, with nurturing
support. Relationships are very
important to me for many reasons, as they are the support and nurture that has
helped me to where I am today. Those
relationships have varied in degrees from, teachers, to peers, immediate
family, distant family, church family, sports family, and more. To me the most vital, would be those that are
indeed the most intimate or closes to you.
For example my mother, father, grandparents, sisters, best friends, and
cousins. Currently now as I have grown
as an adult, my closes and most vital relationships are still my father and
sisters. Now I focus more on the
relationship between my 3 boys and fiancé.
They are my rock to say. They
help me in many ways as I have traveled down the road of adult learning and
career changing. They support me in a
whole way, such as helping around the house, cooking, and verbal support on
tough assignments. I feel truly blessed
with an amazing family.
Above are my beautiful baby boys. I truly never knew true love until I gave
birth to these three blessings. Do not
get me wrong my oldest has indeed taught me many lessons in parenting. And I do not claim that this relationship is
easy, but I do proclaim that it is a love you will never understand (unless you’re
a mother). The bond and attachment I felt
from the moment I found out I was pregnant was unreal, from fear, joy, excitement,
worry, and more. I was now responsible
for more than myself, a child. As I have
learned thus far, as we are approaching preteen, communication and constancy is
key. Allowing each other to express
their thoughts and concerns can truly make a difference.
Where shall I begin in this relationship? I met this man about a year after a very bad
divorce. My children had suffered as
well from the bad marriage and divorce unfortunately. This individual stepped in an helped me and
my boys overcome the difficult and challenging whirlwind when had encountered. Here we are 2 years later and we are planning
a wedding and have a wonderful addition to the family. Key ingredients in any relationship or
partnership is communication, communication, and communication. The ability to express your feelings and
thoughts in an open environment with each other can mean surviving in a
relationship or failing. In most
relationships there is also compromise and negotiation. As some say you have to give sometimes and then
you have to take sometimes, it is never always one way. Just as a sports player work together as a
team, a relationship works together to strive and grow in love and
support.
From my experience thus far in life, as a mid-aged woman
whom lost their mother at the age of 6, whom then lost the next closest thing
to a mother, my granny at age 30, then going through a bad marriage and
divorce, then encountering a few years of single motherhood, to now. Life has had its journey and its fair share
our heartaches that have led me to strengthen many relationships. In the meaning of relationship, I have to
also consider it to be just as a partnership, as it is vital for
communication. Clear, calm, accurate,
and punctual conversations must exist to have a healthy partnership. It has very similar give and take situations,
but in this means the responsibilities are a bit more defined. Just as the relationship between a parent and
child, authority or guidelines is usually already established through experience
verses a partnership may have these roles dictated through lettering. Relationships just as partnerships contain
more than one party, an understanding of each other and compromise. As obstacles arise in a person’s life or in a
partnership/relationship, the support and compassion of others can help an
event become a simple task of life verses becoming a tragic event. Many factors are vital to have and create a
partnership/relationship for healthy development in life. These relationship skills and partnerships
skills stem from the foundation of a child’s attachment to the mother/parent.
I feel that
the skills and experience of being a parent has been the greatest tool to help
with understanding the relationship amongst teachers and parents, children and
their families, and more. Children have
and live in their own world and we must adjust to their world. I think that gives us each insight into having
a better understanding to contribute to healthy development, that contributes
to healthy adults. We establish the
foundation for children in early years.
Let’s contribute to the positive ways we affect a child’s life.
