When someone does not use your name it makes you feel less important, that the person may not be as sincere as they may be trying to be. That will also make you have doubts in yourself, as far as why this person may be reacting in this manner, that can make your self esteem lower, if you don't know how to respond to a person of that nature, it just may be that they were never taught communication skills. When a person only greets one with complaints it makes one not even want to finish the job, it makes them seem like their work was not appreciated and it can make a person sad. a person should just be told the way you want them to do it so that their could be a good line of communication left open for either par tie. If one gets the cold shoulder it makes a person feel somewhat not needed it can make a person that has all the energy of an energizer bunny go to a speed of a turtle, in fact all of these approaches can have one feeling almost worthless. You must always keep in mind they way you would want to be treated and the way that you would want someone to treat your loved ones. You only get back what you dish out. And i believe depending on the situation, that you can let the perpetrator know what they are doing and how it makes you feel, that is keeping you communications skills in tact to me. No one should have to endure being treated that way in any field, it is all about communication and keeping that line of respect going, for the environment that we are working in. That is a major thing that must be address by one of you staff members when interacting with the children as well as the families, it is an awful feeling to be trying to say or do something that is important to you and not being payed attention to, ex specially when it involves your children.
