Characteristics of the Communication Between Parents and Students of the Preparatory Class. Barriers, Positive Factors, and Responsibilities of Teachers

This article aims to investigate the factors that influence the quality of communication between parents and children. At the same time, we were interested in establishing and highlighting the teacher's responsibilities in order to optimize parent-children communication, during the preparatory grade. The conducted survey reveals the important role of teachers in optimizing parent-children communication and the beneficial role of promoting children's qualities and their positive behaviors. The study reveals the importance of the positive pedagogy practices that encourage teacher-parentchildren communication and a positive learning environment at school and at home, the key to success in the student-centered paradigm. According to the discussions with the parents, preparatory graders don't offer parents complete information about what happens at school and often they give them short and sometimes irrelevant information. Teachers have an important role in creating and maintaining a good cooperation with parents during the primary education level. Their role becomes more important when they can help parents communicate better with their children and create a positive climate for communicating and learning together.
