Cultivating Cooperative Communication with Parents
Downloads
CM34
Parents hold many expectations--some spoken, some assumed--when they leave their children with you. Are their children growing, learning, having fun? Are they safe? Can they trust you? The first step toward answering these questions is effective communication. To build a trusting relationship with parents, you must first clarify what people can expect from your ministry, then listen and respond to parental feedback.
