Communicating With Teachers Is Everyone's Job
Good relationships are important in business, family and even in the classroom. Encourage your children to communicate with their teachers and think of them as people who can guide them toward their goals.
View teachers as resources for your children. They are often engaged in the community and find out about activities and clubs that reinforce class lessons in interesting ways.
Their knowledge of competitions and contests can lead to grants or scholarship opportunities.
Start off on the wrong foot with a teacher? Tell your kids to show genuine interest in the subject being taught, arrive on time to class and complete homework assignments.
Suggest these steps and the teacher most likely will respond positively.
Communicating can be difficult or easy depending on the personalities. Either way, the process is a life skill that will come in handy as your children mature.
