Week 2 EDU6161 Relationship

*How did these relationships develop?  My beautiful daughter was born on September 3rd.  

 *What do they mean to you, that is, how they affect your life?  She mean the world to me.  My daughter has affected my life by bring me love, joy, happiness, and being a wonderful daughter.  I am truly blessed! 

 *What do you believe makes a relationship healthy and strong? A relationship can be healthy and strong when both individuals respect and appreciate each other.  Also, caring for each other as they would care for themselves.  

 *What do you do to maintain relationships over time? Always being available for each other. Also,  show love in many ways, For example:  kind words, cute loveable notes, flowers, gifts, lift them up when they are down, doing things together, encouraging words, etc. 

 I am thankful that my lovely daughter just earned her Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction-April 2020.  Prior to her earning this degree, she had a stumbling block by an instructor and she wanted to give up.  As a mother, mom, friend, counselor, and teacher, I encouraged her to never give up, do not let anyone label you, and now she can see the benefits of not giving up!

 Love Katrina
