Why Parents and Tutors Need to Bond Better

According to research, one of the most important factors that have an effect on the performance of the child in the school is how much their parents are involved in their education. One of the ways to improve the child’s performance is by developing a healthy parent-tutor relationship. Most of the parents spend a whole year to get to know the teacher so as to support the learning of the child. However, it can seem rather daunting to do this each year and not everyone is able to create that bond.

But, it is essential to foster that relationship as the parent-tutor bond can set the stage for a whole year of growth. Both for the teacher and the parent there is a level of expectation involved and this can be explained well only through communication. Listed below are a few reasons as to why the parents and teachers should bond.

Helps in Building Trust

For then parents, it can be really hard to drop off their child to school for the whole day especially if they are little. No one can trust a completely new person to love their child as much as do. It becomes hard for the parents to believe the child would be taken care of just like they are at home. All of the kids are different and react differently to the transition. It becomes rather difficult to understand how your own child is going to behave.

When you create a bond with the child’s teacher, you are actually building trust. This would help you to believe that your child is in good hand and is actually enjoying learning things. Parents would start to feel more relaxed if they can trust the teacher and know that their child is happy and safe.

Enhances Learning

Children are very observant and often pay close attention as to how their parents interact with their tutors. The child is more likely to display increased attention and learn with motivation if the parents take an active role in the day-to-day education of the child. Many experts believe that when the child knows that their parents and teachers share a healthy bond, they feel more motivated and learn with keen interest.

Provides That Extra Support

For a teacher, it doesn’t take really long to understand the child. Teachers know when the child would need a bit of extra support. When you share a bond with the teacher and listen to their strategies and suggestions, you would be able to learn how you can support your child at home. Teachers are often appreciative of the parents who are open to hearing feedbacks.

Of course, it can be difficult to know that your child is having a hard time at the school. But, as parents, the best things that you can do is listen openly to the suggestions made by the teacher and then create an action plan that would work in the best interest of the child. Homework is, of course, are a great way to help the child practice what they have learned during the week but the teacher might also have really good suggestions as to how the child can learn better. By interacting with them on a regular basis, the parents would also be able to know what the weak area of the child is and work on to improve it.

Teacher Can Know the Child Better and Create a Bond

It is quite common for the kids to experience a few ups and downs and all they need during such situation is a bit of extra attention and love. The best thing a parent can do in such a situation is inform the teachers if case they feel their child is struggling with a skill or a concept. Teachers have to take care of a lot of children and such things might not always be noticed.

When parents take the time to inform the teacher about these changes, they can have a better understanding and support the child fully. This makes the kids happy and they develop interest towards studying.

Parent-tutor bond isn’t as hard to establish as it seems. All you need to do is put in a bit of effort and you would notice your child taking interest in learning and being happy.
