A parent-teacher conference speech by a mother of outstanding children

Dear teachers, parents and friends: Good evening, everyone! I am the parent of Chen Ying. I would like to thank the school for giving us an opportunity to get together and communicate. Thank you to the head teachers, Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang, and all the teachers in Class 712 for their hard work! Today, I have the honor to communicate with you about children’s education issues, and I feel deeply honored. I would like to share with you some of my own views on educating children, hoping to bring you some thoughts or inspiration. Lead by example and set an example. Suhomlinsky, a famous former Soviet educator, said: \”Parents are children\’s first teachers.\” From the time children are sensible, parents are the objects of observation and imitation. Children inherit their parents\’ behavioral habits through imitation and learning. Parents\’ behavior and habits deeply affect their children\’s growth. The kind of person we want our children to be is the first kind of person we want to be. If you want your children to love reading, then you should fall in love with reading yourself first, instead of lying on the sofa playing with your mobile phone while telling your children to read; if you want your children not to be addicted to electronic products, then you should stay away from electronic products first, instead of investing in them yourself. Play games while scolding children to stay away from mobile phones; if you want your children to develop good habits, you should regulate your own behavior first, instead of asking your children to be perfect while bad habits occur frequently… Parents\’ words and deeds are education for their children. silent demonstration. Only if we keep pushing ourselves to become better will our children become better. Be a good friend to your children. Good education is based on good communication. The prerequisite for good communication is respect. Only by respecting children and getting into their hearts can parents communicate better with their children. The best way to get into a child\’s heart is to be a good friend of the child. How can I be a good friend to my children? Think about it when we usually get along with our children, do we use the authority of parents to give orders to our children? Think about how you need a good friend to treat you? If parents themselves don\’t like the way they are treated by their friends, their children don\’t like the way their parents treat them. If parents want to be their children\’s best friends, they should treat their children as independent people and treat them as equals. If parents want to be their children\’s good friends, please \”become\” your children, think more from their perspective, be more tolerant and understanding, and respond to every topic they ask sincerely. Parents accompany their children to grow up in this way, and slowly they can settle into their children\’s hearts as \”good friends\”. Children regard their parents as good friends, and they are willing to open their hearts to their parents and talk about the joys, sorrows and joys of their growth. Through their children\’s talk, parents learn about the circumstances of their growth, understand their thoughts and trends in a timely manner, and provide timely guidance on their problems and worries, so that their children can grow up healthily and happily. Cultivate children\’s sense of responsibility Tolstoy once said: \”If a person does not have enthusiasm, he will achieve nothing, and the basis of enthusiasm is responsibility.\” Whether a person has a sense of responsibility will determine his study, life, and work. , family successes and failures. It is especially important for parents to cultivate their children\’s sense of responsibility from an early age. Cultivate children\’s sense of responsibility. Parents should not do everything for their children. Let them develop a sense of responsibility.The bad habit of opening your mouth. Parents who do everything may give their children the wrong perception that \”others should do everything for me.\” Parents should be willing to let go. Cultivating children\’s sense of responsibility can start by doing housework, so that they can slowly learn to be independent and responsible for their own affairs. When arranging household chores for your children, don’t forget to tell them that sharing household chores is the responsibility of each family member. When children participate in or complete work, don’t forget to encourage them and acknowledge their work. In this way, children will feel proud of being a member of the family and realize a responsibility while participating in labor. Slowly, they will develop a sense of responsibility. When children are doing things, parents should let them understand that everything must have a beginning and an end. Once you have started, don\’t give up easily. Children have the right to choose their own affairs, but they have to bear the consequences of their choices. For example, for those children who like to stay in bed in the morning, parents do not have to wake them up every day. They can remind them once and then let them decide to get up on their own. The consequences of getting up late are that they have to bear the consequences of being late. Criticize or punish. In essence, every child wants to make progress. They never want to see themselves being criticized or punished for being late, so they will naturally become conscious of getting up. Cultivate children\’s sense of responsibility and develop habits from an early age, so that they can proactively do everything well on their own. Praise your children correctly. Carol S. Dweck, a professor at Stanford University in the United States, said in a speech: \”The key to education is to make the child believe that he has the power to make himself better.\” Let the child Believe that you have the power to do things well. The best way is to praise, but the way of praise must be correct. When a child gets high marks in a test, we praise the child\’s hard work; when the child thinks hard and solves a math problem, we praise the child\’s concentration and careful thinking; when a child completes a task well, we praise the child\’s patience and persistence. …The correct way to praise: do not praise the child\’s intelligence or ability; do not label the child; do not use vague praise statements such as \”Baby, you are awesome and smart!\” Instead, praise the child\’s process of doing things; praise the child\’s efforts, quality, attitude, creativity, spirit, etc. Such praise can help children understand that achievements come from hard work and sweat, and struggle is the only way to success. Children in junior high school have just entered adolescence, and they are in a semi-childish, semi-mature state. This is a period of complexity and contradiction between independence and dependence, consciousness and childishness. This period is often the \”rebellious period\” of children. If parents do not provide good guidance, children may fight, make trouble, run away, fall in love early, commit suicide, etc. During the rebellious period of children\’s youth, what parents need to do most is not to compete with them, but to listen more and give them enough respect. Education is a science and an art. Children\’s growth cannot be separated from the fertile soil of school, the hard work of teachers, and the correct guidance of parents. Only when home and school cooperate with each other and work together can our children grow better and better. The above superficial opinions are inappropriate.Any criticisms or corrections are welcome. Finally, I would like to thank all the teachers in Class 712 for their hard work and wish the children a better tomorrow! thank you all!
