In successful partnerships with families of disabled children, concentrating on family challenges can lead to a negative dynamic between caregivers and families. While it's essential to understand the challenges that families face, focusing predominantly on these difficulties can overshadow the strengths and positive contributions of the family.

By emphasizing empathy, active listening, and acknowledging limitations, caregivers can build a trustful relationship with families. These practices help caregivers to better understand the family's needs, provide appropriate support, and work collaboratively on strategies that promote the child's development and well-being. Ultimately, a balanced approach that respects the family's experiences while promoting a forward-looking perspective is key to a successful partnership.
