It is an effective way for both; parents as well as teachers to discuss how the child has been doing in school. This includes how he/she is learning, actively participating in activities, his/her physical, mental and emotional development. Parent-teacher meetings are something all kids are scared of. But often these meetings can be used as a mode of motivating kids to do better. This can be done by appreciating the children in front of their parents when they come to the meeting. This will lead to children understanding that their good behaviour in school does not go unnoticed, that everything they do is being observed. This serves a dual purpose; children will be motivated to put on their best behaviour and will think twice before engaging in mischievous activities. Parent-teacher meeting works as a connecting link between parents and teachers as the parents know how the child behaves and is doing at home while the teachers would know about their behaviour at school. The union of the teacher’s feedback and parent’s concern can immensely help a child’s educational journey. Based on the feedback received from the teacher, parents can coax children in doing activities that are beneficial for them, help them come out of cocoon if they are shy at school and help in their overall development. These meetings can also be a great way of bridging the communication gap between parents and teachers. The parents can express their concerns to the teachers regarding where in what areas do they feel their child’s growth and development hampered. A few things parents should keep in mind when attending a parent-teacher meeting: 1. For starters, make sure you don’t miss the meeting due to your work schedules. Work is a priority, we understand. But so is your child’s education. The responsibility of attending the parent-teacher meeting is not just on one parent, but both. 2. Always be on time. Take into consideration the fact that your child’s teacher has to meet the parents of all her class students. He/she would have a brief window of time for each student’s parents. It is, after all, a teacher’s duty to treat all children as equals. 3. When your child’s teacher is giving feedback, take it into serious consideration. Remember, the child’s education is a partnership between the parents and his/her teacher. 4. Take a notepad with you and take notes wherever you feel the need to. 5. Share a few things about your child with the teacher — interests, strengths, favourite hobbies to help the teacher know your child better. 6. Ask the teacher all the questions you have and then ask how you can be a part of your child’s progress? 7. Make the most of this time by focusing on your child’s learning. 8. Lastly, don’t forget to thank the teacher for his/her time and the work they do.

Some people claim that parents are the best teachers ever, whereas others say that parents love their children too much to be good teachers. I think that parents are the best teachers for their children. First, they know their children well. Obviously, the first teachers we have in our lives in most cases are our parents. They teach us from childhood how to talk, how to walk, good manners and many other things. Later they give us advice about our own children. Children often copy their parents’ habits and traits because children are sure that parents do only right things. Often children’s first wish is to be like their mother or father. Some say that because of their great affection towards their own children, parents can’t teach properly. Sometimes a teacher has to be strict with his student and it’s hard for loving parents. In my opinion love doesn’t mean letting you do whatever you want. It means justice and fairness, something that a lot of parents understand. However in order to succeed in today’s world children need more than just to know good manners and be able to read and write. They need real teachers who would teach them logic, mathematics, literature, foreign language, management etc. Moreover, they need to communicate with the children of the same age. Another important aspect of this is that parents are the first people who must warn their children about the danger of drugs and cigarettes and how to avoid and say “No” when they need to. In the modern world parents must talk with their children about everything because it can save their life and make them happier. So, the role of parents is really important because it gives the strength and understanding the real world. So in general I think that parents are very good teachers. They teach by their own example and since they know their children best of all they can offer knowledge in a way that can be understood. I’ve seen a lot of examples when parents were the perfect teachers for their kids because they give their knowledge that cannot be taken from books when it needs to be known by children.

Whether parents are our best teachers or not’ is a never-ending debate and people are divided both in favour and against this argument. 2. Parents are the best teachers. 3. The things that we learn from our parents are far more important than what we learn from our teachers. 4. We learn to survive, talk, and distinguish well from bad, values of life, morality and such important other things from our parents. 5.

Parenting: the Most Important Job on the Planet A person’s upbringing and education starts in his or her family. The family is responsible for an individual’s physical and moral development and it is in the family that values, norms and ideas are communicated from generation to generation. Parents ought to love, protect and guide their child. They should show affection and sympathy, understand their children’s feelings and help them solve their problems. A child’s upbringing is not a chaotic and uncontrollable process. It is a great responsibility that demands certain knowledge, skills and experience. First parents should choose the right parenting style. There are four types of them: permissive, authoritarian, authoritative and neglectful. But as a rule parents usually combine these styles depending on the situation. A lot of parents choose a permissive parenting style which is also called indulgent. There are no strict demands as sometimes parents fear to lose their children’s love if they set limits. Children are usually given unrestricted freedom and they are allowed to behave as they want and to do what they wish. Permissive parents don’t usually punish their children. Specialists disapprove of such way of upbringing and say that it is not beneficial for children who may become disobedient, aggressive, and irresponsible. Those parents who choose to adhere to an authoritarian parenting style are strict and demanding. Some specialists characterize this style as restrictive. Authoritarian parents force their sons and daughters to obey a set of rules and punish them for a slight disobedience. They value submission and obedience and discourage independence and individuality. As a result children may fear their parents, feel rejected and lack self-confidence, curiosity and independence. If parents want their children to be happy and to develop successfully, it is essential to maintain harmony and the atmosphere of love, mutual respect, and understanding, and open communication in their family.
