Diversity and Common Obstacles
Chapter 10 begins, “in today’s United States, there is no typical family; rather, there is a vast diversity of family structures in which children develop and learn” (Wardle, 2013, p. 274). Our classroom, families, and children are reflective of this statement. Early care and education programs have a crucial role in supporting all families and “by supporting the family, we support the child” (Wardle, 2013, p. 283).
Reflecting on these quotes from the textbook, choose two common obstacles that families face from the list below and explain how you will work with families to overcome this obstacle.
Common obstacles:
Poverty
Children with developmental delays

Grandparents raising children and generational issues
Lack of extended family support
Communication difficulties
Cultural conflicts between the family and program
New immigrant status
