One of the first things that came to mind is that when I have experienced things in my past that may have me having prejudice feelings towards others, I may overcompensate so my true feelings don't come through. For example, I have had bad experiences with men throughout my life, and so I am not very trusting of them. I may overcompensate by overreacting with trust in order to hide my true feelings, if that makes sense.
On the other hand, I may also may be very blunt in my feelings, which will of course cause problems. I think knowing what your prejudices and biases are, and either paying attention to how you react or even asking the opinion of others will help you when working with families and children. I will be able to gain a better perspective and be more careful of my words and body language.
