How to Build Relationships with Your Child’s Teachers
This is a collaborative post. Thank you for supporting the posts which make this blog possible.
For a good portion of your child’s development they are going to be spending time getting to know their teachers on a decent level. That is where you come in, with a good rapport built with their teachers to help them with future studies and in parent’s evenings.

Understand what your child is studying right now
Having a general understanding of what your child is currently learning about is going to make things a lot easier. It gives you a good talking point to raise with teachers when you’re talking to them for the first time, and it also shows to the teachers that you actually care about what’s going on in your child’s life. You can ask your child each week about what they’re studying and help them with their homework where you can.
Try to bombard your child’s teachers
Teachers have a lot to pick up before, during and after classes start, as well as a number of parents trying to get the same answers out of them as well. There’s no use in jumping in at the first opportunity to talk to their teachers as there will be plenty of opportunities to talk to them. There will be many chances to grab them to have that conversation!
Attend parents’ evenings
The best way to get a real understanding of what your child is learning and how they’re doing will be through the parents’ evenings held across the school year. This is when you can really see what your child is learning about and what their strengths and weaknesses are.
Just like this pre prep school in London, there will be plenty of opportunities for your child to get that extra support if they need it after their parents’ evenings, especially in private schools. With pastoral care and support programmes out there to support children of different ages there’s going to be plenty of care in helping your child achieve their goals.
