This explanatory sequential mixed methods study compared parents' and teachers' perceptions and experiences regarding (a) parent-teacher relationships and (b) parent-teacher communication according to parents' ethnicities and races. Non-matched, quantitative data about parent-teacher relationships were collected from parents (White and ethnic-racial minority) and teachers (those reporting on their relationships with either White or ethnic-racial minority parents) at two early childhood programs ( N = 72). Twenty-four participants were observed during morning and afternoon transitions (child drop-off and pick-up). Thirteen participants were then interviewed, as well as each early childhood program director. Analyses of co/variance were used to analyze the quantitative data. Qualitative data were analyzed using a three-level coding approach and domain and discourse analyses. (Relationships) White and ethnic-racial minority parents had relationships with teachers that were similar in perceived quality. Teachers also had similar quality relationships. Respect was essential to parents' and teachers' positive relationship experiences, though parents and teachers conceptualized respect differently. Teachers reported negative relationship experiences with ethnic-racial minority parents. ( Communication) Teachers' perceptions of communication were similar, but ethnic-racial minority parents' perceptions were significantly higher than White parents' perceptions. Communication experiences among parents and teachers encompassed conversation about children's daily activities, which changed with children's ages. Ethnic-racial minority parents had conversations with teachers that were shorter than those of White parents and characterized by teachers' use of nonverbal behaviors and communicative adaptations due to language barriers that teachers experienced when communicating with culturally and linguistically diverse parents. ( Integration of relationships and communication) Parents' and teachers' feelings of trust distinguished "good" and "excellent" relationships. Parents and teachers also conceptualized trust differently, such that parents' trust encompassed care for and about children whereas teachers' trust entailed confidence in their credibility. Teachers reported difficulty in gaining trust among parents with non-U.S. cultural orientations and those who were male or older. Findings suggest that teachers (a) experience relationship and communication challenges when working with ethnically, racially, culturally, and linguistically diverse parents and (b) need additional guidance and skill development to effectively communicate and partner with ethnic-racial minority parents. Findings are applicable to early childhood education professionals including program directors, teachers, and teacher educators.

Positive relationships between practitioners and parents are essential for young children’s wellbeing, but achieving this can be difficult if there is not enough understanding about how relationships work when one person (the practitioner or teacher) has to play the professional role. Strong communication skills are fundamental to this relationship and to building a sense of community between home and nursery or school. This new book explores how practitioners can build warm, friendly and caring relationships with parents. It clearly explains the dynamics of a conversation, the theory behind how relationships are formed or destroyed and provides practical strategies to put this knowledge into practice. Grounded in the theories of attachment, transactional analysis and solution focused therapy this book will help you to: Increase your level of self awareness Improve your listening skills Understand ‘how’ to communicate with different parent ‘types‘ Learn how to conduct an individual parent interview Develop professional care giving skills Full of practical examples and strategies, this text will be welcomed by early years practitioners and students who wish to develop the skills and confidence they need to effectively communicate with the parents of the children they care for.

Parents and teachers share responsibility for creating a working relationship that fosters children's learning. This digest examines the cultural context for parent-teacher relationships, suggests some general strategies for creating a climate in which misunderstandings and disagreements between parents and teachers can be minimized through communication, and discusses some general principles for parents and teachers in dealing with disagreements as they arise. It is important for teachers and parents to remember that they know the child in different contexts, and that each may be unaware of what the child is like in the other context. It is also important for teachers and parents to remember that the foundation for good parent-teacher relationships is frequent and open communication and that both teachers and parents share the responsibility for creating such a foundation. There are several strategies teachers can use to establish a climate conducive to open communication. Teachers can: (1) let parents know how and when they can contact the school and the teacher; (2) practice an open-door, open-mind policy; (3) elicit expressions of parents' concerns and interests in preparation for parent-teacher conferences; and (4) involve parents in classroom activities. Parents also have an important role to play in fostering open communication between themselves and teachers. They can: (1) introduce themselves; (2) be involved in classroom and school activities; and (3) initiate regular contact. On those inevitable occasions when parents and teachers disagree, teachers should: (1) know the school policy for addressing parent-teacher disagreements; and (2) use discretion about when and where children and their families are discussed. Parents can: (1) talk directly with the teacher about the problem; (2) avoid criticizing teachers in front of children; and (3) choose an appropriate time and place to discuss the disagreement.

What does a healthy, successful school look like? Is it all about measurable outcomes, test scores, and pass/fail grades set by the government? Can learning be quantified in short-term measurements or does real learning take years to manifest in a career or biography? All seem to agree that a healthy school is also a community and that community depends on the quality of relationships—chiefly the relationships among students, teachers, and parents. This book features a comprehensive examination of the parent–teacher relationship in all its dimensions, from parent evenings and conferences to communication, conflict, and the life-cycle of parent involvement in their school. In between the chapters on practical advice are sections that consider the issues from a deeper, spiritual dimension. This book is intended to stimulate conversation, self-reflection, and relational practices that awaken community life in and around our schools.

Strong partnerships between home and school are essential for coordinating high quality care and education, and for supporting young children's development. This research sought to explore the multidimensional nature of parent-teacher, or cocaring, relationships, for families utilizing full-time, center-based childcare for their infants or toddlers. A model of coparenting, or how parents work together in their roles as parents, served as the main theoretical framework for this investigation. In the first phase of the study, 10 parent-teacher dyads participated in semi-structured interviews about a specific cocaring relationship. In this sample, all families were receiving subsidized childcare. Using an iterative, inductive analysis as well as a deductive analysis based on definitions of key coparenting dimensions, three main cocaring themes were identified: communication, support vs. undermining, and childrearing agreement vs. disagreement. In the second phase, 90 parents of infants and toddlers, about a fourth of whom were receiving subsidized childcare, completed questionnaires about a specific cocaring relationship, their parental involvement, the quality of their relationship with their child, and the child's social and emotional functioning. Exploratory factor analysis of the questionnaire developed to assess the cocaring relationship revealed a three factor structure: Support, Undermining, and Endorsement & Agreement. In regression analyses, after controlling for parents' education, parents' perceptions of cocaring support were positively related to all forms of parental involvement: home-based, school-based, and home-school connections. Parents' perceptions of undermining were also positively related to school-based involvement, whereas perceptions of endorsement & agreement were positively related to home-school connections. In addition, when parents characterized their cocaring relationships as more supportive, or higher in endorsement & agreement, parent-child closeness was higher. However, parents' perception of greater undermining in the cocaring relationship was associated with lower parent-child closeness. Regression analyses also revealed that after controlling for parent-child closeness and conflict, undermining in the cocaring relationship was associated with higher levels of child dysregulation. This research lends validity to the cocaring construct and adds to our understanding of the importance of early parent-teacher relationships for children and families.

Is there anything out there that can help us to communicate more effectively with parents? Nothing concerns me more as a school administrator or causes me more angst as the fear of unhappy parents. Very early in my career as an early childhood administrator, I vivdly remember a mommy physically backing me up to the wall with her jabbing words and bullying attitude. It seemed there had to be more going on than her discontent with a teacher who wasn't "loving enough" to her child. My deeper concern was how to prevent a parent from getting this angry in the first place. After finding a startegy to forge positive communciation between parents and teachers, I employed the strategy, in serviced teachers, and replicated the research for two years. Parents who are satisfied with the school's attempt at good communication were also pleased with the way the school was going. There is a strong correlation between parent satisfaction and school communication practices. The book details the "tell the teacher more" strategy, the training of school personnel, the research, and the comments from the teachers themselves how one strategy at the beginning of the school year can have major impact on the positive communication that happens all year long! If you want to make a major impact in the communcation with your school parents, grab the book and read about the "Way to Go!"
