FEATURES OF ORGANIZING AND CONDUCTING PARENTAL MEETINGS IN A PRESENTER
Group meetings are held every 2-3 months. 2-3 questions are brought up for discussion (one question is prepared by the teacher, on others you can invite parents or one of the specialists to speak). Every year, it is advisable to devote one meeting to discussing family experiences in raising children. A topic is selected that is topical for this group, for example, “How to teach children to love nature,” “Children’s fears,” “Is the computer a friend or foe in raising children?”
Traditional forms of holding parent meetings in preschool educational institutions
Parent meetings in kindergarten play an important role in establishing interaction between the teacher and parents, as well as between the parents themselves. This is a unique form of feedback, an opportunity to discuss upcoming plans for teaching and raising children in kindergarten and talk about the individual characteristics of children’s development. Teachers also invite specialized specialists to parent meetings: speech therapists, psychologists, methodologists, doctors. They explain to parents in an accessible form what difficulties may exist in the physical, personal, psychological and emotional development of children of a certain age and how to behave at home in order to overcome them. Next, we’ll talk about how to properly prepare and conduct a parent-teacher meeting in kindergarten.
During each school year, kindergarten groups usually hold two or three planned parent meetings. Sometimes it is necessary to hold an extraordinary additional parent meeting if some extraordinary event has occurred in the kindergarten and it needs to be discussed with the parents. When children are preparing for graduation, an additional meeting between the group teacher and parents may be necessary to discuss all the nuances of this event.
The main topics of parent-teacher meetings in kindergarten for the year are related to the peculiarities of the course of the school year.
First parent meeting
It is usually held in September. On it, the teacher meets the parents, if they have not met before, and discusses the long-term work plan for the year. At this meeting, a parent committee is elected, which throughout the school year will help the teacher solve all problems in the group. Also, a methodologist and psychologist are usually invited to the first parent meeting in kindergarten. They talk about the developmental features of children of the corresponding age group and give advice on how parents can study at home with their children to reinforce the material, and how to raise them at home.
Next parent meeting
in kindergarten it is held in the middle of the year. As a rule, this is a period of acute respiratory viral infections, so at this meeting issues of a healthy lifestyle are necessarily discussed: how to harden children, how to protect them from viral respiratory diseases. A doctor may be invited to such a parent meeting so that he can more competently answer questions about the children’s health. Intermediate educational results, the pace of children’s development, and emerging difficulties are also discussed.

"Kindergarten of a combined type No. 179" of the Samara urban district
Over the thousand-year history of mankind, two branches of education of the younger generation have developed: family and public. Family and preschool institutions are two important institutions for the socialization of children. Their educational functions are different, but their interaction is necessary for the comprehensive development of the child. Modern parents are quite literate, have access to pedagogical information, but often they use random literature, unsystematically, and therefore parents’ knowledge is chaotic [1, p. 28].
A positive result can only be achieved by uniting the family and kindergarten into a single educational space, implying interaction and cooperation between preschool teachers and parents throughout the child’s preschool childhood. Based on this, it follows that the issue of interaction between a preschool institution and a family is one of the most pressing today.
The purpose of the parent meeting: to coordinate and unite the efforts of the preschool educational institution and the family in creating conditions for the comprehensive development of the child’s personality and improving the pedagogical culture of parents.
Tasks of the parent meeting
1. Establish partnerships between teachers, children and parents.
2. To help parents understand their educational role in the family, their position in communicating with children within the framework of family education.
3. Provide assistance to parents in mastering pedagogical knowledge about the development of a preschool child and the ability to apply it in communication.
4. Select methods of influence on the child that correspond to his age and individual characteristics.
Pedagogical theory and practice have developed a large number of different forms of working with families. The main form of work between teachers and parents is parent-teacher meetings. During each school year, kindergarten groups usually hold two or three planned parent meetings. Traditional forms of parent meetings are a meeting at which there is a main speaker - a teacher and several co-speakers, specialized kindergarten specialists or representatives of the parent committee. The teacher can also conduct a survey or a short discussion with parents about any issue in the life of the children’s group [2].
The structure of a thematic parent meeting consists of three stages [3].
Stage I
- Preparatory
1. It is necessary to warn parents in advance about the parent meeting in kindergarten and about the topic that will be discussed. The teacher should post the date and topic of the parent-teacher conference on the information board. It's even better if each parent receives a personal invitation to a parent-teacher meeting.
2. It is necessary to prepare well in advance for the parent meeting. Write a plan, prepare visual and information materials, print out the required number of questionnaires for parents.
3. It is necessary to agree with other kindergarten specialists on the topic of the parent meeting, their role at this meeting and give time for preparation.
Stage II -
Basic
The first or introductory part is designed to organize parents, create an atmosphere of goodwill and trust, and concentrate their attention (message of the topic, form of meeting with the help of short games and activities).
The second part (disclosure of the topic of the meeting) begins with a speech by the group teacher, senior teacher or other preschool specialists, covering the theoretical aspects of the topic under consideration.
The third part - “miscellaneous” - discusses the issues of keeping a child in kindergarten, spending leisure time, organizing joint events between the family and the preschool educational institution.
The fourth part is the decision; the results of the meeting are summed up, listing the decisions made on each of the issues discussed, recorded in the minutes.
Stage III
- Final (reflective)
Summing up, it is important to find out the parents’ attitude towards the meeting, it is wise to prepare in advance the necessary questionnaires for the parents’ assessments and wishes - all this will subsequently become the subject of reflection. The subject of analysis will also have to be the personal composition of parents who remained for a personal conversation, questions from parents during the meeting, the attendance of parents, reasons for absence, participation of parents in the discussion, etc.
When holding a parent meeting, you must follow all stages of its structure. This will help us not only maintain its function, but also convey the theme of the meeting, as well as the comfortable presence of all participants. This way, the parent meeting will be effective.

Hello, dear parents! We have gathered here today to discuss issues of family education and problems in raising children that arise at the present stage among parents.
To form a full-fledged member of society, capable of regulating his emotional life, for him to develop adequate self-esteem, a loving and understanding adult must always be next to the child. Obviously, it is possible to ensure such close, and most importantly constant contact only within the family.
The development of a child, his socialization, transformation into a “social person” begins with communication with people close to him.
All further development of a child depends on what place he occupies in the system of human relations, in the system of communication. A smile, a nod of the head, a word, a gesture or an arrogant look, a cry - replace the feeling of some contacts. The lack of emotional contacts always negatively affects the child’s personality. Parents' inattention to the child's feelings and needs hinders the child's healthy development.
In the first sensations from positive or negative contacts, children begin to pick up messages about themselves, about their value. Children's first feelings about themselves remain the most powerful force in their personal development, significantly influencing the psychological positions that children take and the roles they play. A lack of emotional communication deprives a child of the ability to independently navigate the nature of the emotional relationships of others and can lead to fear of communication.
Statistics show: in those families where there was a close and warm relationship between mother and child, children grow up independent and active. In those families where there is a deficit of emotional contact, children were distinguished by isolation and aggressiveness. In communicating with children and adults, the child masters the norms and rules of behavior and relationships, understands their expediency and necessity.
Relationships between children and adults in the family should be trusting, friendly, but not equal. The child understands: he still doesn’t know much, he doesn’t know how; an adult is educated and experienced, so you need to listen to his advice and words. However, at the same time, the child sees that adults are not always right, that the behavior of many does not at all correspond to moral principles. The child learns to distinguish bad from good. In the family, the child learns to express his opinion, has the right to argue, prove, reason; The family should support any manifestation of creativity, initiative, and independence by the child.
Whatever the child, he needs recognition of his individuality and the support of loving parents.
“Children are the mirror of the family” - this expression surprisingly accurately conveys the meaning of a child’s orientation towards the spiritual and moral values of his family.
Each family has its own ideas about good and evil, its own moral values, and its own views on raising a child.
Part 2:
I offer you a discussion: “Which method is more effective - praise or punishment?”
Exchange of opinions, discussion of theses: “When choosing a punishment, have time to weigh its harm and benefits for the child.”
1 thesis.
Punishment should not harm health – neither physical nor mental. Moreover, punishment must be useful. To punish is, rather, to deprive a child of something good than to do something bad to him.
2 thesis.
If there is any doubt whether to punish or not, do not punish, even if you have already realized to yourself that you are usually too soft, trusting and indecisive. No “prevention”, no punishment “just in case!”
3 thesis.
One thing at a time. Even if many actions were committed at once, there is only one punishment, for all at once, and not one by one, for each offense.
4 thesis.
Statute of limitations: it is better not to punish than to punish belatedly, for example, for an offense discovered after a week, a month, or even a year - this is fraught with the risk of delayed mental development.
5 thesis.
No humiliation. Whatever the child’s guilt, punishment should not be perceived by the child as a triumph of our strength over his weakness, as a humiliation of his self-esteem.
6 thesis.
Punished - forgiven. The incident is over. The page is turned over as if nothing had happened. Not a word about old sins. Don't stop me from starting to live again!
7 thesis.
A child should not be afraid of punishment. He should not fear punishment, not your anger, but our chagrin.
8 thesis.
Punishment is not at the expense of love. Whatever happens, do not deprive your child of the care and praise he needs. Punishment should not sow doubt in parental love, but, on the contrary, intensify the child’s experiences. His love for his parents and the feeling of how much he is loved.
Part 3:
Dear parents, what do you think is the role of the older generation in raising your children? Is it possible to get by at the present stage without the help of grandparents? This is not about physical help, but about moral support. Is it possible to manage raising children without their advice and wisdom? I think you will all agree – it’s impossible! In such a family, knowledge and a willingness to show attention and rush to help are spontaneously developed. Remember warm evenings with your grandmother, good fairy tales and delicious tea with jam. This instills care for loved ones and the value of family. We have very rich and long-standing traditions of raising children. They are inherited.
Part 4:
What are family traditions?
Family traditions are not only holidays, but also a gala dinner every Sunday, when the whole family is gathered and the festive service is taken out of the sideboard - then, after many years, elderly parents will not sit at the Sunday table alone.
If on September 1 you and your child plant a tree, or on New Year’s Eve you go to the forest with your children to decorate the tree with treats for animals and birds, or on May 9 you specially congratulate your grandfather or neighbor, a veteran, all this strengthens family ties and helps in raising children."
Maintaining trust in the family is another good tradition. Trust is the ability to honestly and directly discuss any, even the most complex, topics with each other. Maintaining mutual trust in the family is one of the most important tasks of parents. Imagine that you want to get into a locked house, but the owner of the house did not give you the key. What to do? Break down the door, climb through the window? It's unlikely that the owner will like it. Since he didn’t give you the key, it means he doesn’t want to let you in. The life of a child is a huge world. To enter it, to help the little master of this world, you need to have a magic key called trust.
Young children trust their parents and even adults. If your child is now telling you his secrets, respect it, don’t laugh, understand that this is important for him!
Part 5:
Do you think children's holidays in the family are a good tradition? Do our children need them?
Holidays for children are a good family tradition. Riddles, quizzes, educational games - develop the child’s mind. There is a holiday in the house - you need to prepare gifts, decorate the room, wash everything, clean it - this is how work enters the life of a child. And when we sing, draw, read poetry, dance, put on makeup, listen to music - aren’t we raising our children aesthetically?
What holiday would be complete without fun outdoor games, where dexterity and intelligence contribute to healthy growth?
Result:
And one more thing – a family is a team. It may be small, diverse in age, but a team. And the educational richness of collective work is clearly manifested in holiday worries. Family is the basis of everything good and positive, that is, in a child. Respect and love for family traditions is instilled in the family! Love your children, respect their opinions, desires and they will answer you the same! Be friends with children!
I would like to end our parent meeting with the poem “What could be more valuable than family?”
What could be more valuable than family?
What could be more valuable than family? Your father's house greets you with warmth, They always wait for you here with love, And see you off on your journey with kindness! Father and mother and children sit together at the festive table,
And together they are not at all bored, but it is interesting for the five of them. A baby is like a favorite to the elders, Parents are wiser in everything, Beloved dad is a friend, breadwinner, And mom is closest to everyone, dearest. Love it! And appreciate happiness! It is born in a family, What could be more precious than it, On this fabulous land. (We distribute reminders to parents)
