Parent meeting is not the most fun event. The same type of reports on the success of children, eternal "curses and praises", cash fees. If you are a teacher, and especially primary school, try to diversify the collection and bring them a touch of humor and improvisation.
Instruction manual
1
Who says a meeting must be held in the classroom? Try to break this stereotype and invite your parents, for example, to your home for a cup of tea. In a warm homely atmosphere, people relax and better perceive information for thought. Of course, this is worth doing when you are already a little familiar with the class.

But a pleasant, and at the same time useful, meeting with tea and coffee can be held even in the classroom. Such an event can be timed to coincide with any holiday. Let each of the parents bring homemade cookies or grandmother's pie with cabbage. The teacher and parents of his students must understand each other and be mutually polite. After all, you have to meet regularly for several years and together help the kids to learn in society.

It may be original to hold a meeting with the children. Let them feel adults and, along with their parents, be held accountable for their actions. After listening to yourself from the outside, trying on the role of a parent, the child can rethink his behavior and view of learning in general. In addition, in this way you will achieve greater attendance at meetings.
4
If parents are unhappy with their children's ratings or your way of presenting, hold a lesson meeting. Let adults appreciate your teaching method and feel like children. So you can understand all the pros and cons together, which in the future will help to establish better contact with children.
5
Try not to scold children at other adults. It is better to arrange separate meetings with parents of underperforming students. Remember that many adults who have come to a parent meeting for the first time are as worried as their children on September 1st. Help them adapt to school life, and they will help you educate young students.
