I agree with you that professionalism is hugely important. I think professionalism comes down to three words: ethics, respect and boundaries. Partnerships are critical but a strong professional knows how to have boundaries even when they are close to a family.
ReplyDeleteI agree professionalism is very important ingredient to having a good partnership with families. We have to work as a team all for the benefit of our children and families.
