Do parents need to be prepared to build the first bridge of communication between teachers and students? New student's home visit, the teacher is coming to visit the home. Situation | Teacher | Parents
"Received a phone call from the homeroom teacher saying that they are coming for a home visit this weekend!" "I don't know what the teacher will ask during the home visit? What preparations need to be made?"... Recently, after the class was divided, new parents have received home visit calls from the homeroom teacher one after another. ". Faced with home visits from the homeroom teacher, some parents of first grade elementary school freshmen are inevitably nervous. How can we effectively communicate with the teacher? What preparations need to be made in advance?
"Home visits are the first step in establishing good communication between families and schools, as well as an effective way to establish communication between families and schools. They are also an important part of home school co education. Children are about to embark on a journey of learning and enter a new stage of life, which will encounter new problems and challenges. As parents of new students, it is natural to feel nervous," said He Qianwen, a researcher at the Shanghai Youth Research Center.
A good beginning is half the battle. How can parents cooperate with the school to ensure a smooth transition from kindergarten to primary school? In He Qianwen's opinion, during the period of home visits, it is important for teachers to have a better understanding of their children's situation, family education philosophy, and learning environment. Parents can make corresponding preparations in advance, such as sorting out their children's situation in advance, so as to clearly inform the teacher and make future education more targeted and focused. Through communication with teachers, one can also understand the school's educational philosophy, faculty allocation, and overall class situation.
Faced with the teacher's first home visit, some children are timid and shy, unwilling to communicate with the teacher. What should they do? Some children are mischievous and not afraid of their teachers, jumping up and down in the room. Parents are worried that they may leave a bad impression on their teachers. "It varies from person to person and follows their nature," He Qianwen said. Some children have a certain desire for expression and expression, and will voluntarily introduce themselves to showcase their strengths; Some children are afraid of being around and unwilling to show up in public, which is a normal phenomenon. Parents should not scold their children for being naughty in front of their teachers. Playing is a child's nature, it's just a matter of distinguishing between play and play. Publicly scolding children is a wrong educational behavior, which can leave the impression that parents cannot control their children and cannot educate them. In such situations, it is possible to guide children and teachers to actively interact, and experienced homeroom teachers will also guide children to adjust their behavior in a timely manner. If you want to tell the teacher about your child's shortcomings, you can avoid them and remember not to discuss their shortcomings in public as parents. Parents do not need to compare and force each other, but rather the etiquette of their children when facing their teachers will reflect the traces of family education and leave a deep impression on the teachers.
In home visit communication, the educational and parenting concepts of parents and teachers may not be consistent. What should be done in this case? In terms of educational philosophy, home and school can seek common ground while reserving differences, striving to resonate with the same frequency and move in the same direction. Only by being close to their teachers can we trust each other. Mutual trust is the foundation for establishing good home school cooperation. Although the summer is hot, the pace of home visits by new homeroom teachers has not stopped. It is important to remind parents that in the early stage of home visits, teachers will first determine the child's actual residential address in order to arrange the home visit route. If there are situations such as large residential areas, complex routes, and unclear signage, they can explain to teachers in the early stage of communication, so that teachers can find them more quickly.
New student home visits, as the first bridge for communication between teachers and students, are also a concern and research for the physical and mental health development of children. The first step in home visits is to establish an emotional connection with the child, making them feel that the teacher is here to be friends with you. The child can speak freely without any constraints. This is not only to help new students get to know their teachers, but also to make them feel that they are someone who cares about themselves and is worth sharing their interests, life fun, inner thoughts with the teachers, and to establish initial trust. For parents, if teachers can think from the perspective of their children and hand them over to such teachers, their hearts will be more secure and reassuring. Let teachers and parents work together to safeguard their children's growth.
