5 Steps to Building a Strong Parent-Teacher Relationship

October 28, 2020 by Annie

parent-teacher-relationship-for-school-success.jpeg

You know your child’s teacher’s name, and perhaps you smile and wave during drop-offs and pickups. But is that enough?

Having a strong parent-teacher relationship is important for your child’s education and personal development. But how do you go about cultivating one?

Check out these five steps to building a meaningful parent-teacher relationship.

1. Make Contact and Leave a Good Impression

It’s up to you to make the first contact and lay down the foundation for a parent-teacher relationship. On registration day or the first day of school be sure to seek out the teacher and introduce yourself.

This first introduction is important and making a good impression will go a long way. Let the teacher know that you’d like to get to know them and that a parent-teacher balance is significant to you.

2. Treat Teachers as an Ally

Teachers play a very important role in your child’s life and it’s important to respect that. Helicopter parenting and trying to control how a teacher interacts with your kids is obstructing their position to have a positive influence.

Similarly, engaging in power-struggles or pushing your opinions onto a teacher is a sure-fire way to damage a parent-teacher relationship.

Show teachers that you value their opinion by asking for advice or ideas on certain things. Give teachers space to work their magic and allow them some authority.

3. Communicate Your Appreciation

Pay attention to the way that you communicate with your child’s teacher. Use encouraging language and positive reinforcement to show your appreciation and acknowledge their value.

Let a teacher know how they have positively impacted your child’s life by saying things like, “my daughter always talks about how much she loves your classes.”

Recognizing the qualities of a good teacher helps to build a strong attachment between the two of you.

4. Communicate Often and Directly

Give the teacher your cell-phone number and email address and encourage them to contact you whenever necessary. However, don’t overload them with texts and emails that may cause them to feel suffocated. Determine important reasons to message your child’s teacher and stick to them.

If there is an issue, speak directly to the teacher rather than involving other parties and individuals. Most problems can be resolved quickly with direct and honest communication.

5. Get Involved

The best way to maintain a parent-teacher relationship is to get involved wherever you can. Volunteer to help out with classroom activities, school trips, fundraisers, and the likes.

Being present will go a long way in establishing and maintaining a good relationship with teachers.

Building a Parent-Teacher Relationship

Does my child have a good teacher?, what can I do to support their education? It’s reasonable to be asking these sorts of questions when it comes to your child’s schooling.

Building a good parent-teacher relationship can help determine how your child’s school experience can be improved and it keeps you in the know.

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
