Opening perspectives, sharing observations, discussing educational behavior, and initiating change processes. Professionals in kindergartens and early intervention face significant challenges in advising and informing parents. They are subject to diverse expectations; they are bearers of hope but also points of attack when difficulties arise. Successful conversations can build a trusting relationship with parents that is constructive and enables meaningful cooperation. The author draws on his many years of practice and illustrates through numerous example dialogues and question-answer alternatives how effective communication can enhance collaboration with parents.
