Most often, parents come to kindergarten to bring and pick up the child, as well as attend the parent meeting and holidays. But not all mothers and fathers know that they can attend group and individual consultations for parents in a preschool in any group. Consider this topic in more detail on the example of the middle group, which is attended by children four to five years old.
In contrast to the first and second younger groups, children in the middle group have already adapted to the pre-school educational institution and are actively participating in various competitions and holidays. This is the age of the “why”, so educators actively involve parents in the learning process and turn their attention to children's abilities and talents.
In what form are consultations for parents in the middle group:
- informational report;
- a brief recommendation on reading literature;
- individual conversation in the form of answers to questions;
- group seminars;
- group trainings, games;
- report with demonstration material ;
- open lessons.
An informational report is applied if the issue in question affects all parents. This can be conversations on the rules of the road, on transporting children in a car, on hardening and improving health in the seasons of colds. In the same form, the supervisor or methodologist informs the parents about changes in the educational program, innovations in the educational process, about the increase in payment for the content, about the appearance of additional services and circles.
Brief recommendations on reading literature are more often used by the educator before the parent meeting. Individual consultations for parents (middle group) are usually carried out by narrow specialists (psychologist, defectologist, speech therapist) in order to carry out explanatory work to solve the developmental problem in a particular child. Teachers of additional circles (choreography, plastic, theater workshop, etc.) also prefer this form to draw the attention of mothers and fathers to the abilities and talents of their child.
Seminars, trainings, business games
Consultations for parents in the middle group in the form of group seminars, trainings, games allow you to convey valuable information to parents in an entertaining way as soon as possible. Firstly, the game form liberates the majority of those present, and secondly, the “teacher-parent" face is erased, since the teacher only imperceptibly manages this process, providing an active role for mothers and fathers.
In this form, discussions can be held about spending days off with children, choosing educational toys and games, about the role of dads in raising children, about the tendency of children to aggression, anxiety, lies or theft.
Particularly interesting are the business games on the topic of parent-child relationships, when one part of the parents acts as stubborn and naughty children, while the other remains strict or liberal parents. In this case, mothers and fathers clearly see mistakes in their behavior and words, and also learn to change the situation in practice.
Demonstration report, films, open lessons
Consultations for parents in the middle group in the form of a demonstration report are used when you need to watch a scientific film on the upbringing and education of children. For example, to show an example of lessons on the development of speech, mathematical abilities, logic. Parents can clearly see examples of
games, didactic material and tasks, and educators have the opportunity to stop recording and draw attention of mothers and fathers to important points. This technique is especially convenient in
working with parents who have only one child and lack experience in raising children.
Consultations for parents in the middle group in the form of open lessons are rarely conducted by educators. On the one hand, children are distracted by their parents, and secondly, some mothers and fathers interrupt their activities by whispering, making phone calls or other things, since the teacher cannot make a remark to him when working with the kids.
But in what form to conduct conversations with parents, the employees of the preschool institution determine, depending on the nature of the problem. An exception is the individual requests of the parents themselves to educate their children to a specific teacher.
