Working with Families teaches the important connection between the well-being of children and the well-being of families. The authors accomplish this by integrating knowledge from a broad range of disciplines–sociology, psychology, anthropology–into a practical book that combines the their theoretical knowledge, professional experience, and involvement with students. \nWorking with Families has been written for educators who value the prospect of expanding the scope of their practice in engaging families by focusing on three aspects: enhancing an understanding of family so that educators develop an increased awareness and appreciation of the children and families who they interact with; engaging with and supporting all types of families by providing a foundation for educators to build relationships and share dialogue with families as equals both invested in the best interest of the child; and understanding the diversity that exists within Canadian families―this may include cultural diversity, diversity in family structure, social and economic diversity, or it could be related to particular life events a family may be experiencing.
