Communication


 
My best friend is a wonderful communicator.  Our conversation are honest and I know she will tell me the truth even if I do not want to hear it.  I trust her with my feelings and I know she will respect my point of view even if she does not agree.  We are free to communicate how we feel about diversity and equity.  We help each other maintain healthy mental health to better serve our families.  I know she cares about me and I care about her.  We have a mutual understanding of our unique needs for our families.  We constantly are collaborating about how society needs to strive for equity.  We can talk about what we need to do to serve our families better with breaching the confidence of our families.
 
We do model communication styles after one another.  The main attribute is honesty.  Families need to be able to trust me and being honest is a main characteristic which leads to trust.  In my relationship, I know that since she will not lie to me that the suggestions or advice she may give is because she genuinely cares for me without having an alternative motive.  Families are giving us their most precious gifts, their children.  In order to be able to serve the families and work together to form a team, trust is a must.  If we do not have trust, we will be unable to work as a team in order for their child to reach their full potential.
