the advice I have for creating and maintaining a good relationship with children’s parents is to always be welcoming, be friendly and continue to be that way every day. to have open and positive communication about their child as much as possible, and to keep the parent aware of opportunities and what their child will be learning. It is also important for you to gain trust so that if you need to bring up a concern, the parents feel as though you are knowledgeable and trustworthy. It is also important not to blame parents and let them know that they are their child’s teacher first and are the mostt important piece to their learning and development.
