Another way is sending out information so they are always in the loop of what’s going on with their child’s education. Also just simply being kind and saying hi or good morning every time you see them asking them how their day is.

I believe strong relationships between the teacher and caregiver is so important because children will be better supported. Children are learning to be more independent, communication skills and how to interact with the world. Strategies that can be applied to aid this experience for them is having positive relationships with their families, understanding their background/culture/beliefs and always sending reports or observations you notice in the classroom. There are many ways to interact, share experiences and developmental growth stages with the caregivers, so they can continue to work on it at home and in the classroom setting.

I believe a strong teacher-parent relationship is especially important because young children start to become more independent and benefit as well as feel more confident. Some strategies to build positive relationships with families would be to provide opportunities for parents to help inside/outside the classroom. As well as to always send reports of the child's progress, informing parents of their child's achievements or maybe strengths in the class. Teachers can also use phone calls, or emails if the parents cannot make time to visit the classroom between conferences to communicate regularly regarding their child. Another strategy would be to ask open-ended questions to understand the parents that may not be open to sharing information so that they feel comfortable enough to communicate while not assuming anything. Lastly, providing resources for families because not everyone communicates in the same language as well as allowing the families to participate by listening to their opinions/input regarding their child.

I believe one of the most effective strategies when it comes to facilitating positive relationships with families is ensuring all parties are comfortable before any progression can take place. When parents don’t feel comfortable, they are likely to filter their thoughts and feelings, which won’t have any benefit on anyone.  Some of these conversations may take place over-the-phone, or in the parent’s home- While conversing with our parents, we need to effectively LISTEN and DIGEST the info, before we make any sound decisions/ assumptions- And if we are ever unsure on anything as a teacher/ educator, admit that, as the parents shouldn’t feel any less knowledgeable than us, especially if we are seeking new knowledge within the appropriate content! If we work with the parents, they will work with us! 😊
