Building good relationships with daycare providers

This will be an odd goal :) ...

I want to built good relationships with the nursery school teachers of my daugther. I know, this is partly beyond my control, but being an introvert I still want to try my best. The starting position is that I interact with anyone of them several times a week for a minute or so when I catch my daugther from daycare. Sometimes there is a little smalltalk, but it's all very impersonal. I want to build some kind of personal relationship, but I don't want to get on their nerves or to steal their precious time either.

So, I gave this project a little thought and I came up with some ideas on how to start building good relationships.

Note to myself:

- smile!

- pay attention to a neat outward appearance

- one short touch while saying “hello” or “goodbye”

- nuture the relationship with other parents

- what more can I offer (knowledge, skills, bringing some material)?

- showing compassion when necessary
