Document Summary

All parents (and siblings) experience emotions in different orders and at different intensities. Professionals should help parents be more involved in decision making for their family. Informal sources of support (extended family/friends) are often more effective than professional support for family members. Teachers and parents should be in contact as soon as possible and work as a team. Causation between child and adult behaviour is a two way street. Infant temperaments may have an effect on the family members, just as family member behaviour may have an effect on the child with an exceptionality. Family can have a positive influence on the educational process. Preserve natural parent-child relationship for healthy, beneficial relationship. Parents can provide inside information that educators/professionals are unable to see. Table 4. 1 importance for families and teachers in their partnership.
