Organization of interaction with parents in preparing holidays and leisure activities

The purpose and objectives of interaction between kindergarten and parents

The most important goal of interaction with parents is to teach them how to professionally raise their children.

Also, the interaction of the kindergarten with parents solves other problems:

1. Communication with parents allows us to determine the family environment of the pupils;
2. Allows you to provide them with assistance in the form of advice and practical support;
3. Develops the pedagogical abilities of parents;

Let us take a closer look at the areas in which work is carried out with parents in the kindergarten.

1. Information direction. This makes it possible to contact the child's parents. The teacher receives information about the interests and needs of parents, understands their requests, and determines the level of their pedagogical training. To study the family atmosphere, you need to conduct a survey. Using a questionnaire, you can determine the structure of relationships in the family, find out its specific features, and methods of home education.
2. Cognitive properties. The goal of the educator is to give parents all the necessary knowledge about raising children. To do this, parents must maintain contact with all kindergarten staff associated with their child. For example, these could be speech therapists, speech pathologists, physical education teachers, psychologists, medical workers, and music teachers.

By communicating with kindergarten staff, parents can better understand the characteristics of their children related to their age and psychology. They also acquire knowledge about modern approaches to raising children and teaching them some practical activities.

This can significantly improve the educational culture of the family. This changes the parents' perspective on raising a child at home.

Organization of leisure activities in preschool educational institutions together with parents

Pedagogical article on the topic: “Organization of leisure time in a preschool educational institution together with parents”
Author : Elena Vladimirovna Shalnova, teacher of the MBDOU “Kindergarten of a combined type No. 391” in the city of Samara. Description of the material .
I offer you a pedagogical article on the topic: “Organizing leisure time in a preschool educational institution together with parents.” This article will be useful for educators and heads of preschool educational institutions. The article talks about the relevance of this topic and reveals the experience of working in organizing leisure activities with the families of pupils. The development of a harmoniously developed personality is not possible without the participation of parents. It is necessary to strengthen and develop close interaction between kindergarten and family. Pedagogical article on the topic: “Organizing leisure time in a preschool educational institution together with parents.”
Goal : informing teaching staff about different forms of organizing leisure time with parents. Objectives: 1. To promote the formation of ideas among teachers about the possibilities and conditions for using various forms of organizing leisure time together with parents. 2. Motivate teaching staff to use new forms of interaction with children’s parents. Contents In accordance with the Law of the Russian Federation “On Education” and the Model Regulations on a Preschool Educational Institution, one of the main tasks facing a kindergarten is “interaction with the family to ensure the full development of the child’s personality.” Involving the family in the educational process helps improve the emotional well-being of children, enriches the educational experience of parents, and increases their parental and pedagogical competence. Today, all experts recognize the importance of involving parents in participating in the work of a kindergarten, but there is a certain disharmony in the actual relationship between educators and parents. Both personal and professional factors can impede the development of these relationships and prevent families from becoming active participants in the upbringing of their children. Therefore, we, teachers, must take the initiative and understand how to interact with each individual family for the benefit of the child. After all, it is through interaction and cooperation with parents that the child’s full development can be achieved. Interaction must be built on the principles of joint activities of the teacher, parents and children. At the same time, the goal of education should be the harmonious development of the child’s personality. The development of a harmoniously developed personality is not possible without the participation of parents. Therefore, it is necessary to bring parents to the understanding that together we must join forces in the upbringing and development of the child. The joint demands of parents and educators will lead to the desired goal - a healthy child who can think creatively and observe generally accepted standards of behavior, and this is one of the parameters of readiness for school. It is necessary to convince parents that there is no more interesting and nobler task than learning to understand their child. And most importantly, it is not difficult and exciting. After all, everyone likes to do things that are interesting. If parents see that teachers are doing a lot to make children interested, fun and comfortable in kindergarten, then they are more willing to cooperate. In modern conditions of a kindergarten, it is difficult to do without the support of parents, without their participation in the life of the group and kindergarten, therefore, when working with parents, the teacher must set the following tasks: - To develop in parents confidence in their own pedagogical capabilities, the ability to know and understand their children ; — Enrich the joint emotional experience of family members, teach interaction skills between them; — Develop interest in spending time together. Bring parents and children together. In order to develop in a child a sense of unity with his parents, families can create albums “This is what I am”, sections of which are filled out both in writing (with the help of an adult) and using children’s drawings and photographs. There are many forms of organizing joint leisure time between educators and parents. One of these forms is holding competitions and entertainment in kindergarten together with parents. Organizing leisure activities is a wonderful activity for working with parents. Parents, observing the life of a child in a group, begin to understand the problems of their child, see his successes, which in everyday life are hidden behind household chores. Modern life - parents who are always in a hurry, focused on making money, who want to relax in peace and quiet, have almost eliminated the opportunity for joint creativity: making crafts, needlework or relaxing together. Children are sent to clubs, but they do not find time to be with them, to find out what the children are thinking about and what they are interested in. And children do not see what knowledge, skills and abilities their parents have. The teacher’s task is to organize a joint business for children and parents. A prerequisite for organizing leisure time is for children and parents to leave the event in a good mood. When organizing leisure time with parents, you can always provide such an opportunity as jointly making a craft or completing a task that requires the development of joint tactics. With this option, parents have the opportunity to exchange experiences and learn interesting skills from each other. Parents also have the opportunity to study their child in a different environment from home. In kindergarten, the Autumn Festival, New Year, and March 8 are traditionally celebrated. But the life of children in the garden becomes more interesting if you organize holidays to which parents are invited not only as spectators, but also as participants. A good tradition can be holding parent-child holidays. The scenarios are drawn up in such a way that parents are direct participants in the holiday. This involves cooperation with parents through joint activities - organizing a party, decorating the hall, photographing children, video filming, etc. During the holidays, parents can read poems, sing songs, and play musical instruments. Holidays: “Gathering the Harvest”, “Beloved Grandmother”, “Mother’s Day”, leisure activities: “An Old Fairy Tale in a New Way”, “Merry Bunnies”, “Broad Maslenitsa” and others are held with attractions, competitions in which mothers take part, grandmothers, fathers and children. These events not only bring parents and children together, but also create an atmosphere of warmth and trust in the relationship between the teacher and parents. Joint holidays with parents remain in the memory of adults and children for a long time. As a result of such events, parents change their attitude towards the child and towards us, the educators who work with children every day, investing their soul, knowledge and strength. A special place is occupied by exhibitions of joint creativity of parents and children, the photo exhibition “That’s What I Am”, “Winter-Winter”, the exhibition of crafts “The Sorceress Autumn”, “Vegetables from the Garden”, etc. The main goal of such events is to bring generations (children, parents, grandmothers) closer together and grandparents), strengthening parent-child relationships. In addition, exhibitions of joint creativity foster hard work, accuracy, attention to loved ones, and respect for work. At meetings of the “Our Hands Are Not for Boredom” club, master classes are held together with parents. In each group there are many talented parents who can really share their experience, talk about something interesting, show parents what they can do, invite them to participate in creativity and imagination with their children. Parents use a survey to select topics that interest them. Guided by the interests of the parents, a plan for the club’s work for the year is drawn up. The master class is held once a month, 8 times a year in total. The meeting lasts from 40 to 60 minutes. Parents will learn about the theme of the next master class and its features from the invitation cards. Meetings take place in an atmosphere of friendly communication. The purpose of such master classes is to develop in children and parents a sustainable interest in non-traditional creativity in joint activities, to teach them to use knowledge and skills in working with children at home, and to talk about the need for joint activities in productive and other creative work. A “Day of Good Deeds” is held - repairing toys in a group with children, helping to create a subject-development environment in the group, producing manuals for classes. This event contributes to the development of the child’s emotions, evokes a feeling of pride in their parents, and makes them take care and carefully treat everything in the group in the future. The result of interaction with parents was: Increased interest of parents in the work of the kindergarten and in raising children. Increased attendance by parents at pedagogical education events and their activity; participation in competitions, leisure activities, holidays. Family and kindergarten are two educational phenomena, each of which gives the child social experience in its own way, but only in combination with each other do they create optimal conditions for a little person to enter the big world. This became possible only through joining forces and cooperation. Gradually, misunderstanding and mistrust of parents disappeared. Parent-teacher interactions rarely happen right away. This is a long process, long and painstaking work, requiring patient, unwavering adherence to the chosen goal.

Forms of cooperation with parents

Let's consider some of the listed forms of cooperation.

Meetings

Meetings are held for the purpose of jointly resolving issues related to education. Issues of children's health, development and education are also discussed at the meetings. If certain problems arise, these also need to be discussed at the meeting. At the same time, meetings are held in the form of an active dialogue with the parent staff. You can choose a variety of topics for the meeting, as long as they meet the expectations and interests of families.

Cooperation with the parents' committee

The committee is an association of some parents who are most active, which is created to jointly solve educational and educational problems within the kindergarten.

With their help, the interaction of the kindergarten with parents and the entire parent staff is organized. They participate in preparing the group for the new academic year, organize subscriptions to the necessary printed publications, hold various events, organize holidays and entertainment events, and hold various promotions.

Consultations with parents and conversations with them

This allows for an active exchange of thoughts with the parent staff on various issues. In this case, you can choose any current topics and directions. When planning a consultation, you need to take into account the requests of parents and try to cover as many aspects of raising their child as possible.

Visiting families' homes

This will allow you to get to know each child better and understand how they live at home.

It is very important to carefully consider each visit. With casual communication, you can find out a lot of information about the child, understand what interests and hobbies he has.

Conference organization

Conferences are held to develop the pedagogical awareness of parents. A variety of topics can be discussed.

Moreover, during the conference it is possible to involve not only parents, but also various public organizations. During the conference, representatives of medicine, police, employees of the education department and other specialists related to preschoolers may speak.

Interaction of kindergarten with parents - Organization of educational games for parents

Games can be devoted to a variety of topics and directions. For example, you can talk about how to travel with your children. Also discuss how to organize walks, how to spend weekends, how to cook and other topics.

You can also conduct games that allow you to master some pedagogical techniques. This allows you to gain knowledge about the proper upbringing of children in an interesting way and practice some models of action.

Also, such game situations will allow parents to analyze their own situations in the family and find the most suitable solution for them. Various specialists and teachers can help them with this.

Organization of the presentation

Presentation is a method of interaction with parents that has emerged quite recently. The activities of the children's institution need to be well advertised. Parents should know the charter of the organization, the program that is applied on the territory of the kindergarten. They must be familiar with the team, with the working specialists.

During the presentation, parents receive the information they need about how work is carried out with their children, what additional services the kindergarten offers.

Interaction of kindergarten with parents - Organization of days of good deeds

This form of cooperation can help develop a warm relationship with each parent. Parents can help organize space, repair furniture, get toys in good condition, bring new clothes for dolls, or sew costumes for upcoming events.

You can also involve parents in landscaping the area around the kindergarten and ask them to help with cosmetic repairs. Some parents may bring sand to sandboxes. There are many good deeds that parents can do for the kindergarten their child attends.

The holding of trainings

During trainings, you can arrange game tasks that allow you to evaluate different methods of interaction with the child. During game training, parents better learn to communicate with their children and learn new information about their upbringing.

Organization of joint activities

Any joint work during which parents not only receive results, but are active participants in the process. Naturally, the organized activities should be related to the upbringing of their children.

Organization of open days

During these days, parents should have the opportunity to become familiar with the methods of working with children. They get to know better the style of communication between teachers and children, and they themselves become involved in the group life of their children.

At the same time, you can let in not only fathers and mothers, but also grandparents, as well as other family members. They should be able to visit all the premises and get to know better the conditions in which their child has spent most of his life.

Organization of mini-meetings

For mini-meetings, you need to find one interesting family and study their experience of raising a child at home. Next, this family should invite two or three other families who have the same principles of education at home. The result is a small campaign that discusses relevant and interesting topics.

Trust mail organization

This is a fairly new method of interaction with parents, with the help of which you can develop a trusting relationship between parents and kindergarten staff. Parents can talk about their problems related to parenting and receive counseling in this matter.

Creation of an institution website

Today, parents' need for information about raising children is growing sharply. Changing living conditions encourage parents to seek up-to-date information about teaching culture. They should be aware of everything that happens on the territory of the kindergarten where their child goes.

Therefore, a lot of useful information can be placed on the site: this can be various sections with information about the garden, adopted regulations, achievements of the organization, information about the current team and the responsibilities of various specialists, you can talk about events held on the territory of the garden.

You can also post various consulting materials. On the same site you can post news, presentations and photographs.

Another area of ​​cooperation with parents is visual information. You can organize a special parent corner where parents can bring their family photos.

Also various wall newspapers, newsletters, advertisements. Here you can organize an exhibition of children's creativity and a place where parents can write their proposals for the work of the kindergarten.

Interaction of kindergarten with parents - Visual information models

Let us discuss in more detail some visual and information models.

Parents Corner

You can put various information for parents here. This could be the group’s daily routine, information about educational events, and a menu for each child. Here parents can find useful tips and various reference information.

Folders

In these folders you can use material on a variety of topics. The main thing is to choose it so that it is relevant due to the current lexical topic.

Organization of stands

The stands display a variety of material that is useful and interesting for children. For example, you can dedicate a stand to traffic, or fires, or parents of children. You can also post children's creative works here.

Photo albums

They contain photographs brought by children or their parents. This way you can get to know the family hearth of each child. This allows children to show love and respect for their home and their family. Children keep albums of family photos in their cabinets or shelves in the bedroom or group.

Wall newspapers

This is a fairly old and effective method of organizing visual interaction with parents. It allows you to attract the attention of parents to the life of the kindergarten. You can place information about interesting events on wall newspapers.

Children can also share their family life: creatively depict their holidays, their relatives, and interesting joint events.

Posters

They allow you to display useful and relevant information in a visually interesting form. For example, about poisonous mushrooms and berries. About sports and health. About road safety, etc.

Exhibitions

Thanks to exhibitions, it is possible to demonstrate to parents the achievements of their children in mastering the kindergarten program.

Printed handouts or brochures

This makes it possible to provide parents with information about the concept of the institution. Memos can describe useful tips for parents. For example, how to raise children. Or how to protect them from colds. Or what to do when you are sick. Or how to prepare your child for school.

Joint play activities of parents and children (from work experience)

This is my first year working with my group of children and parents.
I started by deciding to establish a trusting relationship with my parents. In modern conditions of a kindergarten it is so difficult to do without the support of parents, without their participation in the life of the group and kindergarten. Only through joint efforts can we raise a person who has a thirst for knowledge, knows how to enjoy life and sympathize, who can do anything! After all, it is through interaction and cooperation with parents that one can achieve the full development of a child and his proper upbringing. Interaction should be based on the principles of joint activities of educators, parents and children. At the same time, the goal of family education, as well as public preschool education, should be the development of the child’s personality.

The great Russian teacher V.A. Sukhomlinsky wrote: “Education is, first of all, human studies. Without knowledge of the child - his mental development, thinking, interests, hobbies, abilities, inclinations, inclinations, there is no education... Without constant spiritual communication between teacher and child, without mutual penetration into the world of each other’s thoughts, feelings, experiences, emotional culture as the flesh and blood of culture is unthinkable pedagogical". Of course, he wrote about teachers and educators, but we must not forget that the first teachers and educators for a child are his parents.

But modern parents, for some reason, forget about this and leave the upbringing, education and development of their children to general education institutions. I ran into a problem: parents show little interest in the success of their children. It is very difficult to attract and interest them, but this is the most important task. It is sometimes so difficult to explain to parents that the child must not only be fed, clothed, and put to bed, but also communicate with him, teach him to reflect, think, and empathize. And how great it is to do everything together - play, walk, talk about different topics, share secrets, come up with different stories, do crafts. This is what I want to convey to the parents of my students by holding unusual conversations with them, consultations, seminars, workshops, parent meetings on various interesting topics that concern them so much. I rely on the requests of parents, and these requests are easy to identify through questionnaires, and sometimes I cover those topics and questions that are of interest to us educators and, I think, will be of interest to parents.

Yes, parents now are all literate people, with higher education, but, according to my observations, they do not know how to build relationships with children in play activities. But play is one of the leading activities of a child. Now the children stop playing. And the games children play have become sad and aggressive. The chain of transmission of gaming tradition from one generation to another has been broken. I decided to bring children and parents closer together, to show parents that their children are creative and capable, but they require attention and a partner to play with.

To solve this problem, I set myself the following tasks in working with parents:

1. To develop in parents confidence in their own pedagogical capabilities, the ability to know and understand their children.

2. Enrich the emotional joint experience of family members, teach interaction skills between them through gaming activities.

3. Develop an interest in children and parents in spending time together.

4. To unite parents and children, to ensure that children understand their parents, and parents understand their children.

5. Introduce parents to the traditions and forms of gaming leisure in families.

6. Help parents discover new opportunities for the child to reflect the world in play.

In order to find out the meaning of joint games in the families of my students, I conducted a survey of parents and children “Game in the life of my family.” Based on the results of the survey, I concluded that parents want to play with their children, but do not know how to properly organize joint play activities with their children.

I drew up a plan for joint gaming activities, where parents will be partners, participants in children’s games, and not spectators or observers.

Prepared consultations for parents “Growing up while playing”, “What toys do your children need?” The goals of these consultations are: to make parents understand what role play plays in the child’s life; give knowledge about the meaning of the toy, its role in the child’s play.

My next step was to hold a parent meeting in the form of an oral journal on the topic “Why does a person need childhood?” At the meeting, questions were discussed: do parents remember their childhood, what is characteristic of it? What interests and worries their child? How would they like it to be? At the meeting, parents got acquainted with the statements of teachers and scientists about the game and its role in the life of the child. At the end of the meeting, parents received instructions on “How to play with your child correctly.”

There are many forms of organizing joint work between educators and parents. One of these forms is holding competitions, entertainment, holidays among parents, among parents and employees, etc. in kindergarten. The kindergarten traditionally celebrates the New Year on March 8 and February 23. But I realized that children’s lives become more interesting if we organize some non-standard, fun holidays, to which parents are invited not only as spectators, but also as participants.

A holiday is a bright event in a child’s life, filled with unusual, joyful and deep impressions. K.D. Ushinsky wrote: “Let everyone remember his childhood, and he will see that a holiday for a child is not at all the same as for us, that this is really an event in a child’s annual life, and that a child counts the days from holiday to holiday, just like we do.” We count our years from one important event to another.” I agree with him. But the holiday is doubly interesting for children if parents take part in it.

It has become a good tradition for our group to hold parent-child celebrations. This is a good reason to spend them with your parents, not for them. The scenarios are drawn up in such a way that parents are direct participants in the holiday. This involves cooperation with parents and communication with children through joint activities. Such holidays take more than one day to prepare. This is painstaking work. It is necessary to think over the organization of the holiday, the decoration of the hall, develop a script, etc. With children, before each event, I make invitations for parents. How nice it is to see the joyful faces of parents when their child presents an invitation made with their own hands! It would be a shame not to come and take part in order to please your son or daughter.

Holidays: “Autumn Birthday”, “Christmas Tree Festival”; leisure activities: “Together with Mom”, “Wide Maslenitsa”; entertainment: “Winter fun”, “Mom is my sunshine”, “Dad can do anything!” and others were held with various attractions, competitions, competitions, relay races and other game subjects. Mothers, grandmothers, fathers and their children took part in them. These events not only bring parents and children together, but also create an atmosphere of warmth and trust in the relationship between the teacher and parents. You learn a lot of interesting things about the families of your students, about their traditions, hobbies, about the system of raising children in the family, and most importantly, parents reveal their talents and creative abilities that they didn’t even know about. The unique emotional and spiritual atmosphere of the holiday is created by the general mood and activity of all participants in the holiday: children, parents, teachers. Joint holidays with parents remain in the memory of adults and children for a long time. They teach the child to love and take care of his family, his father and mother, the spirit of his home. Parents get to know each other well in joint competitions, competitions, and relay races. Adults and children learn to understand each other better, and parents have the opportunity to observe their child’s interactions with others. Children see a positive example of communication and relaxation.

I saw that as a result of such events, parents changed their attitude towards the child (he can and knows a lot) and towards us, the educators who work with their children every day, putting their soul, knowledge and strength into the work of education.

A special place is occupied by exhibitions of joint creativity between parents and children, for example, “Autumn is a Magician”, “Magic Snowflake”, “Crazy Hands”. The main goal of such events is to bring generations (children, parents, grandparents) closer together and strengthen child-parent relationships. In addition, exhibitions of joint creativity foster hard work, accuracy, attention to loved ones, and respect for work. This is the beginning of patriotic education, because love for the Motherland is born from a feeling of love for parents, one’s family.

Especially loved by children are “Meetings with Interesting People”, where their guests are parents who introduce themselves to children in a different way - as professionals in their field, interesting people. For example, the guests of our group were my mother, a doctor from a railway clinic, and my father, a builder. Such meetings enrich children's knowledge about the professional activities of adults, expand their general awareness of the world around them and their horizons, and also form in them a certain elementary experience of professional actions and promote early “professional orientation.” Role-playing games of a professional orientation play a major role in shaping children’s ideas about the professional activities of adults. Therefore, the result of such meetings are role-playing games, for example, “Polyclinic”, “Why should we build a house?”

I also plan to invite my grandmother to visit, who will show her crocheting skills; a mother who agrees to organize a “Balloon Festival” for the children.

We must not forget that our kindergarten is from the railway. I plan to hold a literary lounge “Here is our train rushing, the wheels are knocking...”, where parents and children will read poems, fairy tales, stories about the railway, their own compositions.

I believe that thanks to such events I create conditions for interaction between children and parents, which helped improve emotional contact between them and taught them how to play together.

Holiday Events

Collaborative theater

Children are preparing a theatrical performance. Parents help them learn words, sew costumes for them and create beautiful decorations. Children really enjoy these events. They usually get a lot of impressions and feel joy from their own and others’ successes.

Exhibition of family values

Children can bring different materials for the exhibition. For example, old toys that have been preserved from moms and dads, beautiful old postcards and much more that has been preserved in the family from old times.
