With these
three conclusions in mind, the goal I have for myself to enhance my
collaborative efforts in advocacy, policy, and/or system development work on
behalf of young children, families, and the early childhood community is to
always be respectful of everyone’s perspectives, reciprocate with questions for
understanding and feedback for development, and respond in a timely manner.
