What difficulties may you encounter when examining your own beliefs, values and practices?
That yours are different than others. We may share our religious belief with the person next to us, but go home and interpret them differently. So you both pray in the same church, but at home you have different values - their children run around screaming, climbing furniture and are rude, whilst you instil what you see as good manners, respect in your children etc
'Your' values and practices mean your family are very clean and take pride in their appearance, the children next door are 'dirty and often have nits'.
Those children attend your Pre-school -what difficulties may you encounter?
You will have to overcome any prejudices you have, remain professional and treat that child/ren equally and with respect.
We may all have different beliefs, values and practices at home, but professionally you must treat everyone equally, without prejudice and accept children and their families for whom they are.
