Develop authentic partnerships with parents

Develop authentic partnerships with parents

Ask parents and whānau what helps and what gets in the way of working together.

We are true partners when:

  • you listen to what I have to say
  • you acknowledge my intelligence
  • you want to learn more about my ways
  • you don’t judge me
  • you engage me in genuine dialogue
  • we make decisions together
  • you show that my child matters to you
  • you include my experience, knowledge, and viewpoints with yours.
