Hello friends, welcome to "I love to educate" is a blog created for educational purposes. To provide support to teachers, students and parents in the teaching-learning process, facilitating the completion of school activities.

We teachers work hard. We do so much at school that sometimes we forget a very important area of ​​our activity: working with parents.

How to make students' parents their allies and helpers? It seems to me that this is the first and main recipe for working with parents of students.

- Convert the students' parents into their classmates, allies, helpers.

I see the parents of the students as a powerful support group for teachers. They are very necessary and important assistants in our business with you, we just need to build a reasonable and competent job with them.

In this case, under no circumstances should students' parents be asked incessantly for money for various needs. It is much better to organize your assistance with us at any event, one afternoon, an Olympiad: seek the help of the students' parents.

Surely, among the parents of his students there will be an initiative group that will not refuse to help him and will become his support group.

A constant telephone connection with the parents of their students will be of great help in their teaching work. Take advantage of any reason to call the parents of your students as: absence from classes, emergencies, important situations, in difficult cases.

Bad test results, poor performance: call your parents. Do not stay alone with the problems, even more, these are not exactly your problems, or rather, they are not your problems at all. Your solution will greatly help constant telephone communication with the students' parents.

• First, the parents of our students are sometimes simply not up to date with all of their children's educational issues. So let's keep them updated. Children hide a lot from them, and most parents don't have time to go to school constantly.

• Second, after all, these are not your own children. Why should you take all the difficulties of training and education? After all, our students, fortunately, are not orphans.

So we bring parents as much as possible to the education of the younger generation. And understand, these are not telephone complaints, but the search for helpers and associates in their difficult task. And then, who, if not the parents, should take care of their children and be aware of all their affairs?

So let them participate gently and intelligently using modern means of communication. And finally, it is your responsibility to keep your parents informed about your children's affairs.

I assure you that the constant phone call to parents of children with problems will greatly solve the problems with them. At the very least, we teachers should at least try to share the responsibility of the students that society and the educational system impose on us with their parents. They are more responsible for their children than we, the educators.

- Use parent-teacher meetings and individual meetings with parents to inform them not only about the educational process and current performance of their children, but also about age-related psychology, as well as the problems of raising children younger generation.

In other words, do not miss a single opportunity to have an intelligent and meaningful conversation with the parents of your students.

In general, at parent meetings, we limit ourselves to a simple list of student names with the announcement of their current grades. At the same time, we accompany all this with our comments, hard comments and addresses.

- Print some materials about pedagogy, developmental psychology and parenthood and give them to the students' parents at the meetings.

In other words, educate, inform, teach, the parents of your students.
It seems to me that we are not using this resource properly to work with parents. We, the teachers, can give you the most interesting materials on these topics directly at parent meetings.

The main thing is that we must learn to use this power (the power of parents) for peaceful purposes and for the benefit of the educational process and children.

I am sure that you can turn the students' parents into their comrades of arms and assistants by their own calm and intellect, their own education and competence, their professionalism and knowledge of the matter, as well as their optimism, humor and simply nobility of the soul . That is our destiny as a teacher: continue teaching children and educate their parents always.
