Country of Orgin: Ghana, South Africa
Ways to prepare to be culturally sensitive:
1. Maintain an open mind, and remove personal biases.
2. Establish open lines of communication for parents and or caregivers
3. Educate staff with the cultural aspects of Ghana, and cultural expectations of young children and their role in society based on research and parent interviews and home visits with the family.
4. Conduct cultural sensitivity training with staff.
5. Embrace the child, the family, and their culture.
These preparations will eliminate potential biases from the staff that serves the family in addition to ease any trepidation or fears the family may have about leaving their child with strangers and fear of losing cultural components that are dear to them . Also by interviewing the family we can further establish a line of communication with them in hopes of making them feel more comfortable with sharing any pertinent information that will aide us in serving their young child. The preparation methods will help us to collectively work together as a support unit to offer the best care and educational experience that is culturally sensitive and which supports all children within the confines of the environment.
