Make Friends With Your Child's Teachers

You should endeavour to make friends with your child's teachers as
they are out to assist you in the parenting enterprise you have
embarked upon.You have everything to gain rather than losing if you
make up your mind today to begin a lasting relationship with your child's
teachers.

Some parents are so carefree about making friends with the teacher with
who their children are spending the better part of the day while they are at
work minding other businesses.


The fact remains that we are so very busy that most parents hardly have
time to find out what is going on with their children during the day.Teacher
are the ones on ground to see to it that no harm befalls your child.


The teacher are more placed in an advantageous position to know who your
child is away from home where they have the best chance to disguise from you
who they truly are.


There at school, the teachers see the children at close range;not necessarily
because they are spying on the children,It is just that they are always close to
them due to their professional calling.


If you look very well, you will realise that your child prefer taking orders from
his teacher to you.


Hasn't your child come back home and do things from which you may want to
divert his attention and the child refusing to obey you because he must do it
simply because:"Our teacher said we should do it"?


Besides the above, teachers are also very helpful in the care of the children
left with them.


l remember when my teenage child was still in secondary school - boarding
house-to be precise.He started falling out ion his performances academically
due to the new friends he was associating then.His teacher noticed this, and
because we had established a good relationship with him, he quickly phoned
me and l rushed down to the school to have a hearty discussion with my child.
He promised a change which he kept to and we are all the better for it .


My child graduated with very good result due to the teacher's intervention
in his relationship with the so called friends who were not helping him .


Finally,l want to plead with you to make friends with your child's teachers for
the betterment of the child's life .

You have everything to gain and nothing to lose in such relationships.

Happy parenting.
