RELATIONSHIP REFLECTION  

Relationships are an important part of life. The relationships we develop with family and friends shape us as individuals. The bonds we create help us through good and bad times in our lives. Having family and friends to turn to in times of crisis or need provides social and emotional support. 

  
The relationship I have with my husband is like no other.  He is my best friend and biggest supporter. We are a military family and sometimes sacrifices have to be made, but I wouldn't change one thing about my life with him. I love him more every single day:)  

I am a mom to seven children (five are in the picture above). Being a mom is one of the most amazing things I will ever do. My relationship with my children makes me realize how important it is to be involved in every aspect of their lives. Parenting is not an easy endeavor. It is vital that we have healthy relationships with our children so they can form healthy relationships in life. Children are like sponges, they soak up everything we do. I try my best everyday to develop my relationship with each child and let them know how special they are. 

 My mom and I have an amazing relationship.  She is my best friend, confidant and support system. I have had so many opportunities in my life because of her hard work and dedication. I can ask her advice about anything and know there will not be a lecture only words of wisdom. We have been through difficult transitions in life, but because of the special relationship and bond we share with one another nothing stands between us. I am incredibly blessed to have such a great parent that taught me about relationships from a very young age and how important they are to maintain. 

 Relationships/partnerships are crucial in all aspects of life. Personal relationships and business relationships provide critical balance to our everyday lives. The importance of maintaining healthy relationships is vital. Unhealthy relationships can be draining. Developing relationships with our parents can be a positive factor in our role as educators to their children. Assisting them in building a healthy relationship with their child and becoming an active participant in their education can be a bonus.
