its important because then adults feel more confident talking with you and giving information, they feel more confortable in the setting and if a parent are happier leaving their child, you may be able to use their individuality in projects for example if an adult/parent is a builder he may come in to talk about buildings if he feels comfortable, its important to look at the positive aspects of a person and allow them to contribute. Staff and adults are more likely to respect you if you respect them, you are a role modle for the children so its important that they observe good attitudes and communication(bandura) and that you use ab/ad practice and celerbrate differences. If there is mutural respect it will likely be a better atmosphere which is good for the children and everyone because....etc
you can show respect for others in many ways, by body language-for example by not smirking at what someone is wearing, by verbal language and listening-hearing what someone is saying and repeating a little back shows you are listening to their ideas etc By carrying out a parents wishes for their child you show you respect that they are the primary care giver, you can show respect for staff by giving them space, praising their work and by being awear of their views even if they differ from your own.
2nd one a simpler way to think of it is-what communication difficulties might there be? and how do you overcome them? what can happen if you dont notice the problem in the first place?
if your not sensitive to difficulties you may not be awear of them until it is too late, you may make things worse, mum might get angry, or it can cause other problems-you might have needed info i.e the child had an elergic reaction to nuts last week, but the parents have not told you because they are unhappy comming in the setting, the child may see bad communication and copy. act out, feel unsecure etc
communication difficulties can be caused by a disability- cant hear, see, walk etc. language problems- have dislexia, may not read, write, speak your language well, location/access-live far away, stairs etc, lifestyle-parents may have to work a lot-cant attend parents evenings, time-no time for communication, disagreements, illness, scared to talk, clostrophobic, unaprochable, bad body language....etc
to over come them you can use many diff forms of communications, have meetings, telephone, email, child diaries, do planning evenings, etc
