Not always a good relationship develops between a child and a school teacher. Mom and dad may not even suspect that the baby does not get along with the mentor.
Most often, such situations arise in the lower grades, because older students already know what line a teacher should not cross. But the kids endure in silence. How to recognize the conflict in time?
- Is your toddler refusing to talk about how his school day went, or does he evade answering questions about a teacher? This signals that not everything is going smoothly at school. Remember, sometimes children are silent about their problems. For a small child, the teacher is an authority. That is why younger students often do not talk about the reprehensible actions of the mentor.
- Learn to hear your child and recognize his “distress signals”. A kid who has barely encountered adult life can be completely helpless against the arbitrariness of others.
- Explain to the child that in the family he will always receive protection. Let him know that you can come to your parents with any, even the most delicate, problem. Did the student complain about the teacher? It will be better if you find out what is going on in the school.
- Of course, there is a lot of fiction in children’s complaints. Toddlers tend to exaggerate and fantasize. Is it hard to believe in the story of a schoolboy? Anyway, make sure that everything is fine at school because there is no smoke without fire.
- If the conflict is obvious, do not be afraid to contact the leadership of the educational institution. Perhaps it would be better if the child moves to another school because the psychological climate in the educational team depends on how he grows up.
Do not forget, a trusting relationship with the baby is the key to your peace of mind. Ask him about school, teachers, and friends every evening! So you will always be the first to know about key events in your child’s life.
