How have challenging events in your own life or in the lives of any of your family members affected your family as a whole? What factors helped you cope during these times of need? Think about some of the children in your family child care program and how challenging events in their lives may affect them. How can you apply your own experiences when working with families who face challenging situations? Write down your thoughts and share your responses with your trainer, coach, or family child care administrator.
