I clearly want to get closer to my child, but I can only receive a polite "thank you teacher"; Although they clearly explain the knowledge points and try their best to take care of each child in class, parents always carry a polite and distant feeling
In fact, what parents and children want is not an "all-around superhero" or a "perfect lecturer", but a teacher who can see details, understand the pace of growth, be willing to get along equally, and be able to support and protect.
1. First Encounter with Trust: A 'Detail Catcher' with Bright Eyes, Remembering Children's Little Specialties
A Chinese teacher once shared an experience: there is a girl in the class who always likes to cut the eraser into small pieces, which causes headaches for her parents. She didn't criticize, but found that the erasers were neatly arranged by the girl, so she asked the girl to be the organizer in the handicraft class, praising her for "strong hands-on ability and particularly serious work". Later, the girl not only stopped cutting erasers, but also took the initiative to help the teacher organize teaching aids.
The most important thing for parents and children is whether the teacher really sees me. Remember the child who doesn't like to talk but likes to draw, hand him a piece of drawing paper after class; Remember the child who always forgets to bring stationery, keep a cartoon pen he likes in the drawer
The accumulation of these subtle details makes parents feel that 'entrusting their children to such a teacher is reassuring' and makes children feel that 'this teacher remembers all my little things special'.
2. Everyday anxiety: a 'growth interpreter' who can translate and turn problems into shining points
Faced with fluctuations in a child's grades, some teachers may say 'I didn't do well on this exam', while popular teachers may say 'My child made 4 mistakes on the basic questions this time, but we have practiced 5 similar questions specifically for him. He has already mastered them and will definitely improve next time'.
When we translate "the child doesn't like to speak up" as "he is thinking seriously and daring to speak up with more encouragement", and translate "homework is written slowly" as "he is very meticulous in doing things and practicing speed up skills together", parents not only hear explanations, but also the peace of mind that "the teacher, like us, hopes for the child's progress".
What parents fear the most is the judgment based solely on the results, and what they need the most is the interpretation of the process. They are not denying the problem, but hoping that the teacher can stand together, turn the problem into a solvable small matter, and turn the shortcomings into cultivable potential.
3. Deepening and Narrowing the Distance: The "Child King" with Childlike Hearts, Willing to Share Little Secrets
A math teacher would spend 5 minutes chatting with the children before class and actively share a little secret: "Actually, when the teacher was a child, he was also afraid of application problems. Later, he found that drawing line diagrams was simple. Do you want to learn?" Parents also gave feedback: "My child is willing to tell the math teacher everything, even more intimate than us
Children do not like high handed teaching, but they are willing to get close to teachers who can "go crazy together". Remember their favorite cartoons, popular topics they talked about, and ask during break time, 'What games have you been playing recently?'
When the teacher puts down their airs and engages in conversation with the child on the same level, the classroom is no longer one-way output, but two-way rushing. The child is looking forward to class, and the parents are naturally filled with joy.
4. Guarding critical moments: not only protecting children's confidence, but also giving parents peace of mind
A composition teacher noticed that student Tom was always criticized by his parents for "not writing well", so he circled the wonderful sentences in his composition and said in front of his parents, "Look, Tom's metaphor is so special. Even the teacher didn't think of the idea of 'raindrops are like little paratroopers'. Let's praise his shining points more often, and his confidence in writing will definitely be stronger
Another time, Tom was misunderstood by a classmate for stealing an eraser. The teacher didn't rush to judge, but instead took everyone to recall who saw the eraser last. In the end, it was discovered that the eraser had fallen into the crevice of the table. After clearing the child's name, the parents were moved and said, "Thank you, teacher, for standing firmly by the child's side when he needed it
The profession that parents and children need is not only the ability to teach knowledge, but also the responsibility to safeguard their growth. This kind of reliable support when needed is more reassuring than an omnipotent perfect image.
From building trust through 'seeing details', to resolving anxiety through' understanding growth ', to bringing people closer through' childlike companionship ', and finally' supporting and guarding 'to strengthen the confidence of growth.
In fact, becoming a popular teacher never requires any 'superpowers'. It's just about taking the child to heart, treating the parents as partners, warming people with details, and moving them with sincerity.
