Goals: obtaining the maximum possible information about the current state and characteristics of the child’s development; about the specifics and priorities of family education; about the needs and requests of the family in the upbringing and development of the child; about the possibilities of constructive parental participation in the work of the kindergarten.
Creating conditions: you should immediately remember the names and patronymics of your parents and address them that way; It is advisable that there is no barrier (table) separating you from your interlocutor; pay attention to the fact that the height of the chairs is the same; It is most advisable to sit facing each other, and not next to each other, side by side; touching (tactile contacts) is unacceptable; if the conversation does take place at the table, it is advisable that you move all the papers aside; you can’t rush to the phone - you can either turn it off while communicating with your parents, or simply ask them to call you back; It is not recommended to be distracted by work conversations with employees.
Sincere interest without excessive emotionality is desirable.
During communication, it is important to understand what characteristics parents notice in their child, how they evaluate them, and how they react to these manifestations (positively, constructively or destructively). How constructively parents interact with their child at home will determine how easy or, on the contrary, how difficult it will be to interact with him in a kindergarten group. For example, if a young child strives to move independently as much as possible, do the parents understand that for his normal development it is necessary not to limit movement, but to promote it.
If a child at the age of three shows his “terry” negativism, which is again the norm, how do the parents react to it: they help the child constructively overcome difficulties in relationships or try to “re-stubborn”, “break”, subjugate him.
Hence, in the first conversation between the leader and parents, questions may arise:
How do you feel about your baby’s special manifestations: whims, disobedience, etc.? What do you consider the main thing - to make him obedient, subjugating him with your will, or do you give him the opportunity to demonstrate and consolidate independence? What prohibitions exist at home? What the child has already learned: how and what he says; how it moves; what does he like to do, how does he do it? Who takes care of the child, with whom does he spend the most time? What do family members like to do together? What do they pay more attention and time to? What is the best thing to do together? What are they experiencing difficulties with? What do you think are the reasons for these difficulties? What qualities of a child’s personality are teachers advised to focus on and rely on? What advice would you give to us - to all those who will work with a child in kindergarten?
The kindergarten cannot do without promptly informing parents, as well as ongoing assistance from moms and dads.
Have you “appointed” your parents as sponsors of your endeavors and transformations? In this case, before thinking about your (not personal, of course, but production) needs, determine what is most important to them? Their own child, his well-being, his health, but certainly not the problems and needs of a municipal (essentially state) institution.
What is important to you? Receive the necessary assistance in purchasing linoleum (towels, books, stationery, etc.), organize transport for a group outing, accompaniment to the theater and thereby ensure children safety, an interesting and useful pastime, introduction to culture or a healthy lifestyle etc.
Try this strategy:
1. Invite the children to give their opinion about which gender they would like best in the group. Write down everything, even the most ridiculous ideas in your opinion. Don't adjust them, don't smooth them out. Post notes in the reception area.
2. Make a rating assessment: select from children’s fantasies several ideas that are closest to your own (for example: a large carpet - beautiful linoleum - parquet - painted floor), and invite each child in the group to make a choice (put a chip, write your name in column with the selected option).
You will get something like this:
Big
Beautiful | Parquet | Painted | |
carpet | linoleum | floor | |
Lida | Ira | Peter | Valya |
Dima | Ksyusha | Sonya | |
Kostya | |||
3 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
Together with your children, count what you have accomplished.
3. If possible, offer to draw a group room with a new floor, write down the children’s statements about why it should be exactly like this (what they like, why it is convenient). Hang drawings and statements in the reception area.
4. Write an “open letter” to your parents. For example: “Dear moms and dads, our favorite group is good to everyone - warm, cozy, but the trouble is - more and more often we are tripping over corners and cracks in our old linoleum, broken noses and torn tights have appeared. The new linoleum would allow us to walk without fear or the threat of falling at the most inopportune times. Can you help us? Your beloved children and teachers.”
5. Make an accurate, reasonable cost estimate. Give different prices for linoleum, not forgetting about its quality.
6. Offer an alternative to participation for parents - if not a monetary contribution, then providing transport for searching and delivering linoleum, performing work to free up space and laying linoleum, providing an apparatus for welding linoleum seams, and arranging furniture are no less valuable.
7. Write a long thank you letter to the parents on your behalf and on behalf of your children.
Of course, these options are more labor-intensive than simply writing an ad “Comrade parents, urgently donate 100 rubles to purchase linoleum. Administration,” but the effect will be different. Perhaps not more productive, but more humane, more “continued” - there will be no shame in asking for help in similar situations again and again.

• pictures from magazines and the magazines themselves;
• photos of your summer travels;
• ship models.
We count on you!
Consultation for teachers of preschool educational institutions “Requirements for consultation with parents.”
Requirements for consultation with parents.
Consultation as one of the individual forms of interaction with parents (legal representatives) helps to provide them with timely assistance in raising a child. When planning an individual consultation, the teacher must take into account their needs for certain knowledge. If the consultation occurs on the initiative of the parents (legal representatives) themselves, then it is called spontaneous or unplanned
. If the teacher is not ready to conduct a qualified consultation, then he refers the parents (legal representatives) to other specialists (doctor, educational psychologist, music director, speech therapist, etc.).
A teacher can prepare for a consultation by studying the necessary literature.
If the consultation is planned and carried out on the initiative of the teacher, then it is called planned.
Traditionally, 3–4 consultations per year in each age group are recommended. The topics of consultations are varied. Unlike a conversation, a specialist plays a leading role in a consultation.
During the consultation, it is important to avoid moralizing and edification, and to speak with parents (legal representatives) in an accessible language, showing goodwill. You cannot read the text “from a piece of paper”. The teacher needs to reveal the essence of the question asked, for example: how best to harden a child, how to organize his leisure time in the family, how to answer children’s questions, etc. Consultation can be conducted orally and in writing
. In writing, the teacher can offer parents (legal representatives) reminders, photographs, and bibliography lists.
When conducting a group consultation
The teacher brings together parents (legal representatives) on similar educational problems. In pedagogy this is called a differentiated approach. Thus, a teacher can unite parents (legal representatives) who are faced with the problem of childhood jealousy when there are two or three children in the family. Or invite parents (legal representatives) of frequently ill children to a group consultation and give them comprehensive information on health promotion, hardening, balanced nutrition, and movement development. You can invite a medical professional or a physical education instructor to conduct such a consultation.
Currently, “absentee”
consultations, when the teacher answers questions from parents (legal representatives) in writing. The advantages of preparing and conducting such a consultation are that the teacher, based on the needs of the parents (legal representatives), can prepare a complete answer in advance or forward the question to another specialist, and the parents (legal representatives) can ask questions that are difficult to voice in the presence of other people.
"Helpline"
as a type of pedagogical consultation, it is used in preschool educational organizations for the purpose of a confidential confidential conversation between specialists and parents (legal representatives). This form can be used as a telephone conversation like a hotline. Parents (legal representatives) can call the specified number and chat with specialists on issues that concern them.
Whatever form the consultation takes, it should give parents (legal representatives) something new, useful, and expand their pedagogical knowledge.

It happens that the reasons for difficulties in communication lie in the position of the parents . Some of them make mistakes in their upbringing, but do not want to see them, correct them, and sometimes simply not notice them, blaming them on the influence of society. parents and the fact of his acceptance in the family as an individual capable of self-development also have a great influence on the development of the child
