As I am also part of 'densely populated crowd of Asia and working as teacher', I feel that parents need to work a little harder with their kids before they become adults.
Yes, making them resilient against the setbacks is the way forward. But we as teachers also need to preach parents about how to make their kids resilient. And for this, I have a strategy. Kindly allow me to share it here.
In Parent- Teachers meet ups, I personally take an hour of motivational session for parents. In the session, we share ideas how we can make our kids a better citizen fo the future. The theme of 'better parenting' is discussed over there. In the meet up parents share difficulties and someone shares solution.
Last time, we discussed about balancing 4 aspects of better development.
- Mental Growth
- Physical Growth
- Emotional Growth
- Technical Growth
One of the parents asked how they could cope with today's technical demands if they do not use too much of modern gadgets. One other parent suggested them that to join a group where older people discuss and learn modern technology. The problem solved.
I hope you can understand that my intention in the monthly PTM's stree more upon putting a collective approach so as to enhancing parenting capabilities.
I applaud how you organise these PTM pow wow sessions. You create an open space for busy parents to discuss varied concerns that have been lingering in their minds. More importantly, you open the floor to solutions, which doesn’t put the onus on you to dispense all the advice. What subject do you teach?
