SCHOOL FOR PARENTS: My son does not get along with the teacher.

Sometimes children can say phrases like "I hate school!" Or "The teacher is always bothering me!" Most of the time this happens when a new teacher comes to class. Parents can influence this situation and help the child get along with the teacher.

SourceChildren largely adopt the behavior of their parents, therefore, to resolve such conflicts, much depends on their reaction. If you get angry and stand next to the child, this will only aggravate the situation. If you sympathize with him and then offer to understand and find a reasonable solution to the problem, it will help you find a common language with the teacher.

Be cautious Remember that the first impression is often wrong and that the child may be wrong. Also, do not forget that both parties are usually to blame for the conflict. Therefore, you should remember what parents should do in such situations and what they should not do.

1. Do not rush to immediately stand on the child's side and treat the teacher negatively

SourceChildren are extremely observant and sensitive, but they can not always correctly understand the behavior of others. If a child complains that the teacher does not like it, he may simply make an erroneous conclusion about his words or actions.

At least this possibility exists. Ask the child about the details, but do not show that you agree with him or disagree. Your task is simply to look at the situation through the eyes of a child. When you calm down, you can explain the opposite point of view.

2. Do not criticize the teacher in the presence of a child.

SourceThis will only increase the child's anxiety and make it even more closed to cooperation. Instead, make it clear that you are worried about the situation, but trust that it will change for the better.

After a day or two, ask how the relationship between the child and the teacher develops.

3. Wait a few days

SourceSometimes children need some time to adapt to new people in their environment. Monitor the child's reaction to this situation for several days.

Sometimes it happens that the child has already changed their point of view, but the parents still behave as if they still complained about the teacher.

4. Explain to the child that the teacher does not have to be his best friend.

SourceIt is very important that the child learn this. In the future, you will repeatedly face situations in which you will need to cooperate with someone with whom you do not have the best relationship. If this relationship is not offensive, and the issue is simply in character differences, for the child this can be a good opportunity to learn to get along with people. Help your child find something worthy of respect in the teacher's character or actions, even if the child does not like it.

5. Help your child understand that relationships always depend on both people and that he can influence the situation.

SourceIs the child friendly when greeting the teacher? Are you preparing for the lessons, asking questions? You can offer your child to play the game "Make friends with the teacher". Think together how a child can show respect for the teacher. Then you increase the likelihood that the relationship between them will improve.
