The understanding of developing and maintaining interpersonal relationships is crucial for Child and Family Studies graduates in their future careers. Because human services work revolves around helping people and forming trusting relationships with them, to know how to develop and maintain these relationships is essential. In the helping profession, it is important to remember the Permission Principle: “Our behavior is permission to others to behave similarly, but it is more than that. It is an invitation to do so.” The Permission Principle reminds CFS students to uphold themselves to the highest standards. The Permission Principle applies to relationships with others, appropriate and professional dress, and professional and respectful behavior. CFS graduates were taught to behave professionally and appropriately and this will invite others to treat the graduates with the same professionalism and appropriateness they exhibit.
In addition to behaving appropriately, CFS students learned to listen and understand others. The single most important principle in the field of human relationships is to “seek first to understand, then to be understood.” This principle illustrates the important concept of listening to others, especially the population the graduates will be serving. In order to fully serve others in the best way, human service workers need to actively listen and learn about their clients. Human service workers must ensure they “really” know their clients before they explain the resources that could help them. The single most important principle in the field of human relationships relates to the concept of the two most important elements of relationships, respect and trust. Respect and trust are two elements that must be earned in relationships. Respect and trust are not just given away, but earned in relationships through time and understanding. Human service workers can develop respect and trust in their relationships with their clients by truly listening and understanding their clients.
