Teachers use their daily wisdom to help parents better understand their child’s needs and development. A teacher can spend over 40 hours a week teaching and spending time caring for your loved one. A teacher takes each child under their wing to guide, support, protect, and teach. 

We might not be experts on what goes on at home, however, we do know some things like which rewards work better and what their interests are while at school. Some of this information can be helpful and useful to bridge the gap between what the child is learning at school and what can be useful for the home environment. 

Welcome to the tour guide for parenting tips from a teacher; it just might be what you need. Most teachers understand the importance of having a positive relationship with parents to successfully teach their children. These teacher tips for parents are the bonuses of the many relationships with parents and children experiences that I have been blessed to be a part of for many years. 

Boost your child’s self-esteem 

      Developing a child’s self-esteem can seem hard and overwhelming. A child’s self-esteem is a foundational component of life. If a child is not confident in who they are it will dictate who they are their entire life.  Some ways you can help boost your child’s self-esteem are allowing your child to be independent, teaching choices, and giving praise when they are successful. By giving your child the empowerment and mindset of an “I can do mentality,”  will give them the positive self-esteem needed for the challenges that will lay ahead of them.

Setting Limits and Consistency

  Setting Limits teaches children how to make positive choices and what happens when they make a mistake. Being consistent in giving children choices or in administering the rules helps teach children expectations that will not waver and how to be a part of a group. 

Be a good role model

  When children have good role models to imitate it makes learning rules easier. Children will imitate who they are close to and if that is you then you need to model the behavoirs that you expect them to display. When children have good role models they are more successful in life to have someone to look up to and admire.

Catch Your Child Being Good

 We all need praise and encouragement to feel good about ourselves. When you catch a child being good or doing the right thing give them praise and acknowledge their work. When we use praise with children they will want to be praised again. The more we paise young children the more they learn boundaries, expectations, and rules for life.
