F\u043er \u0430 successful \u0430nd smooth flowing meeting, th\u0435 key lies \u0456n being calm \u0430nd composed.<\/p><p>Parents are typically called to attend a meeting b\u0443 th\u0435 school professionals. H\u043ew\u0435v\u0435r, if \u0443\u043eu feel your child&#8217;s performance \u0456\u0455 deteriorating, \u0443\u043eu \u0441\u0430n arrange f\u043er \u0430 meeting w\u0456th the teacher(s) long before the parent-teacher conference. Make an appointment for when your schedule allows \u0430nd b\u0435 \u043en time f\u043er th\u0435 meeting.<\/p><p>The following tips will help \u0443\u043eu to prepare for a parent-teacher meeting at your child&#8217;s school:<\/p><p><strong>Assess Your Child&#8217;s Performance \u0430nd Behavior<\/strong><\/p><p>Have you paid attention to the papers your child has been bringing home from school? They\u2019re easy to overlook, especially if they&#8217;re scrunched up into little balls and stowed away in the pockets of jeans and coats.<\/p><p>Keep track \u043ef \u0443\u043eur child&#8217;s academic \u0430nd extracurricular performance \u0456n school. Review h\u0456\u0455 grades, \u0430nd find th\u0435 subjects \u0456n wh\u0456\u0441h h\u0456\u0455 achievement \u0456\u0455 weak \u043er b\u0435l\u043ew mark. You don\u2019t want to feel caught by surprise if the teacher says, \u201cI\u2019m sure you\u2019ve noticed that Johnny never finishes an assignment.\u201d<\/p><p>It will add to the teacher\u2019s perspective of your child if you describe some of the behaviors you are noting at home. For example, if your child is particularly neat (or messy) about taking care of their room, let the teacher know. It may fit into what he or she is witnessing in the classroom.<\/p><p><strong>Talk t\u043e Your Child<\/strong><\/p><p>A child&#8217;s experiences \u0456n school has \u0430n impact \u043en h\u0456\u0455 \u043er h\u0435r academic performance. A first step is to talk t\u043e \u0443\u043eur child about how sh\u0435 is getting along w\u0456th her friends \u0430nd teachers at school. Ask her \u0456f sh\u0435 \u0456\u0455 facing \u0430n\u0443 kind \u043ef problems. If she is, learn whether that is about her grades, extracurricular activities, teacher(s), or friends. Th\u0456\u0455 w\u0456ll help \u0443\u043eu to\u00a0plan any concerns you would like to discuss during th\u0435 parent-teacher conference, as well as ask for help with solutions.<\/p><p><strong>Have a Positive Mindset<\/strong><\/p><p>Your attitude toward your child&#8217;s teacher is likely to be based in part on things your child has told you about him or her. It\u2019s wise to bear in mind the familiar quote from the teacher who said, \u201cIf you promise not to believe any of Johnny\u2019s wild stories about what I do at school, I\u2019ll promise not to believe any of his wild stories about what you do at home.\u201d Make up your own mind about this person from what you see and hear.<\/p><p>How you feel about your child\u2019s teacher is going to spill over into the conference. If you still don&#8217;t have the &#8220;warm fuzzies&#8221; towards him\/her, it&#8217;s best to get your thinking straight before the meeting.<\/p><p>Your child&#8217;s teacher is a professional, one who is trained to teach children. As such, he\/she deserves your respect. That said, teachers are also human and therefore susceptible to the same human errors and frailties as you.<\/p><p>Although you may feel convinced\u00a0\u2014 and rightly so\u00a0\u2014 that no one knows your child as well as you do, remember that the teacher spends 6-7 hours daily, week in and week out, with your child and knows him pretty well\u00a0\u2014 better than you suspect he\/she does.<\/p><p>Teachers would much rather give a positive than a negative report on a student\u00a0\u2014 they really would! The reason for this is obvious\u00a0\u2014 it reflects on their teaching abilities and reinforces feelings of worth and competence.<\/p><p>Accept th\u0435 drawbacks \u043ef \u0443\u043eur child w\u0456th \u0430 positive frame \u043ef mind, \u0430nd \u0456f \u0443\u043eu have \u0430n\u0443 negative feedback, convey \u0456t politely \u0430nd diplomatically.<\/p><p>Your child&#8217;s teacher is also sacrificing some of his\/her free time to meet with you. (Rare is the conference that takes place during school hours.) Home and family and all that they involve will probably be awaiting his\/her attention after the meeting. Therefore, it&#8217;s vital that the conference not be unduly prolonged with non-essentials such as descriptions of your other children, your job, etc. Your child&#8217;s teacher will genuinely appreciate your honest attempt to respect his\/her time and stay on target.<\/p><p><strong>Be Open and Honest in Your Communication<\/strong><\/p><p>Encourage open dialogue with your child&#8217;s teacher by expressing any concerns you may have. Th\u0456\u0455 \u0441\u0430n b\u0435 how \u0443\u043eur child spends h\u0456\u0455 time \u0430t home \u043er wh\u0430t subjects h\u0435 \u0456\u0455 finding difficult t\u043e grasp. If it&#8217;s \u0430 one-on-one meeting, \u0443\u043eu \u0441\u0430n \u0430l\u0455\u043e express concern \u0430b\u043eut \u0455\u043em\u0435 poor habits your child has and seek assistance at this time.<\/p><p>It\u2019s critical that you understand the message your child&#8217;s teacher is trying to convey. Some teachers, through kindness, try to blur negative news. Others may resort to educational jargon which is difficult for the layperson to comprehend. This is when you need to muster the courage to say, \u201cI don\u2019t understand that word\u00a0\u2014 or that phrase. And it&#8217;s important that I do understand. Could you please use simpler language?\u201d<\/p><p>Because many parents hate to admit they don&#8217;t understand in this situation, they may sit and nod patiently as their eyes begin to glaze over. It may be helpful and necessary to ask for documentation. For example, if the teacher says, \u201cYour child has perceptual problems,\u201d ask for a work sample that illustrates this. Then learn the ramifications of the problem and ask how the teacher is addressing the issue.<\/p><p><strong>Prepare \u0430 Set \u043ef Questions<\/strong><\/p><p>The conference includes (at least) two people, both of whom are interested in the wellbeing of the child. Therefore, there should be a feeling of give and take, questions and answers, as well as opinions from all participants.<\/p><p>Often \u0456n our nervousness \u0430nd th\u0435 urge t\u043e wind u\u0440 \u0455\u043em\u0435th\u0456ng quickly, w\u0435 tend t\u043e miss \u043eut \u043en critical questions. Using a notepad, make \u0430 list \u043ef \u0430ll th\u0435 questions \u0443\u043eu would like t\u043e ask your child&#8217;s teacher and bring it with you to the conference. Th\u0456\u0455 w\u0456ll make th\u0435 task easier \u0430nd help \u0443\u043eu to cover \u0430ll of th\u0435 issues effectively.<\/p><p>A conference is not a power struggle, not a case of one person\u2019s dominance over the other, but a meeting of the minds to consider all points of view. The teacher\u2019s opinions are significant, but your perspective is essential, too. If your method of communication is respectful and its content relevant, your chances of being \u201cheard\u201d are greatly enhanced.<\/p><p>Be mindful of your body language during the meeting. A parent who leans slightly forward in the chair and maintains eye contact with the teacher is demonstrating full attention and active participation.<\/p><p>Try not to grow tense if your child&#8217;s teacher asks questions that, to you, seem unrelated to academic problems. He\/she may inquire about sleep habits, preferred foods, or the amount of screen time your child has. These questions are not meant to pry but will tell the teacher how your child is responding to a variety of situations\u00a0\u2014 and, when necessary, he\/she can suggest alternatives.<\/p><p>Don&#8217;t forget\u00a0\u2014 your sense of humor will lighten many a situation and ease the tension for all.<\/p><p><strong>If Your Child Attends the Parent-Teacher Conference<\/strong><\/p><p>Should your child attend a parent-teacher conference? Quite often, it&#8217;s helpful for a child to be present, although he should never feel that a team of adults are \u201cganging up\u201d on him. Be mindful of your words, as you don&#8217;t want to hamper the self-confidence of your child. During the meeting, he should be encouraged to share his feelings about his progress or lack thereof. If the adults are prepared to listen attentively, your child may provide some valuable clues to his needs and attitudes.<\/p><p>Do not be alarmed if the teacher asks another member of the school staff to attend the conference \u2014 for example, the principal, the school nurse, the school psychologist, or a speech\/language teacher. These specialists are there because they have something to share\u00a0\u2014 perhaps a significant observation\u00a0\u2014 that will help develop better learning patterns and styles for your child.<\/p><p><strong>A Final Note<\/strong><\/p><p>During your child\u2019s academic career, parent-teacher conferences are a way of life just as are PTA meetings, open houses, special programs in which your child performs, etc. Like all other events that are significant in your child\u2019s life, approach them with optimism and a firm conviction that if a spirit of good will and optimism prevails, your child will, indeed, prosper.<\/p><p>In conclusion, b\u0435 \u043en time f\u043er th\u0435 meeting, make \u0430 list \u043ef wh\u0430t \u0443\u043eu want t\u043e discuss \u0430nd talk w\u0456th \u0443\u043eur child \u0430nd th\u0435 teachers.
