Is it someone who is intertwined throughout every part of their child's life?
Is it someone who allows their child to have endless amounts of freedom?
Is it someone who is strict and allows no freedom whatsoever?
Is it someone who is far from knowing what is going on in their child's life?
We may not think of it, but how our students are parented reflects tremendously on their behaviour and progress at school. As we read in our assigned text for the class we actually learn that their are actually 2 fundamental skills for parenting...
one being
Control and the other
Acceptance
In other words : its a mixture of how restraining you are as a parent and how well you
comfort and love them
Growing up with Authoritative Parents really
Authoritative parenting... our text describes as this.......
Parenting style that encourages children to be independent but still places limits
and controls on their actions.
I have truly been blessed in life with having them both as my support figures.
As a teacher you will come across children who are not as grateful and who do not have anyone in their life that they can talk to or look up to as role model.
Hence why it is so important to always being nurturing and caring for your students. No matter how neglectful a parent may be or how pushy a parent may seem, always be that extra support system for whomever needs you.
