Title: Parents as partners - loving the 'unlovable' - and other bright ideas that are not as easy as they seem
Abstract: There is theory, and there is practice. The art of our professions is to weave the two together to make a difference in people's lives. In thinking about the topic and how I wanted to contribute to this publication, I was inspired to write about what I wish I knew when I first started out working with parents. This is the space in which I think I have made the most mistakes, and it has not been for a lack of theory, or knowledge, or skill, or intention. It has been because actually following through on the seemingly simple task of partnering with parents is really very, very hard. I feel like it is an area in which, somehow the more I know, the less I know. I do very firmly embrace the idea that within these partnerships, magic can happen, and without them, our wands are more likely to misfire. So how can we make something so important work a bit better?
