Resource Type

Video - Parent

Description

"This tape includes unedited excerpts from conversations with 5 diverse families. Segments were selected to highlight generic communication strategies helpful in joining with a family and building a collaborative partnership. Strategies include having a conversation rather than an interview, sharing power by letting the family do the talking, focusing on family members' strengths, asking open-ended questions, and encouraging expression of different viewpoints. Experienced family consultants meet with families from African-American, Hispanic/Latino, and European-American backgrounds from all income levels." -Child Development Media, Inc.
