Dealing with Mr. Berry’s concern

Regarding Mr. Berry’s voicemail, Ms. Ramirez should immediately act politely and with

understanding. First, she should return the call promptly to address those issues he felt they

deserved to know about. She can speak about the pro and cons of Corinna’s learning process for

her to exhibit in the classroom, anyway, that needs improvement. Ms. Ramirez should emphasize

the importance of socialization in the early years and how playing with friends helps Corinna

learn.

Further, Ms. Ramirez can let Mr. Berry know that even though Corinna is not inclined to

read, she is right in this particular level and should be able to read more fluently once she has

grasped knowledge in like manner. She can also talk about what is done to homework in the first

grade and what Mr. Berry can do for helping Corinna to read at home? This means that through

keeping to a positive tone, Ms. Ramirez is able to respond to his complaints, and avert them to

the principal.

Parent Education Programs

There are several theoretical disadvantages of conventional parent education including;

the programs may have set or inflexible structures to give the families’ suit their structure may

not address the various needs of the families. Some programs may be of limited interaction,

parent ends up receiving information only instead of partially experiencing information with the

child. Moreover, such programs may seem fixed and fail to meet parents’ time schedule and

cultural importance of child care.

It also has its importance to the teachers since parent education meetings are another

learning process. Teachers may also learn about the problem that parents may confront and about

the family in general. These meetings also involve relationships between teachers and parents to

enhance and students also get counseling where there is a difficulty on the side of the families.

Parent education is an intervention process which aims to fill the need for family support

by offering the parent strategies for their children. These programs provide not only knowledge,

but interaction in which parents can discuss issues with other parents or maybe even get advice.

Information and Interaction in Parent Education

This is why the terms “information” and “interaction” have been chosen – they cover

both aspects of effective parent education. Information is the facts given to parents in relation to

their child’s development, ways of learning, and ways the parent can help the child at home.

Interactions has on the other hand parents’ engagement in conversation and in activities. This is

the main point because it assists the parents in absorbing the information which is being passed

to them, or even seek clarifications, as well as, providing their opinions.

Employing readymade parenting education programs is sometimes helpful because they

are developmentally based and can offer guidelines for learning of parents. Nevertheless, the

choice of one depends on the particular parent group. Some clients may need a personally

oriented program that meets their particular needs, while others may wish to follow a program

that has been designed in advance.

The Role of Social Relations in Parents’ Education

People’s relationships are important in parent education context because they foster a

supportive community for children and their parents. Trust fosters provision of information

within parents and this is why parents feel comfortable learning and sharing information. They

bring feelings of camaraderie, so these relationships can positively influence the outcomes of the

parent education programs.

Parents Can Learn

Therefore, planning good parent meeting must take into account the needs and the time

that the parents will be able to give towards attending the meeting. Ms. Ramirez should

intentionally pick the right time and place for the meeting and develop an appropriate list of the

points of discussion. To enhance participation during the meeting provision of childcare or

permitting the option of attending virtually can help.

This means that facilitating participation also means making the meeting environment

friendly and engaging. These are points that the parents should have the feeling that they are

contributing and that the meeting is environment is secure for them to express themselves. In

some ways which are best suited for the parent such as through efficiency of reaching them with

practical hands-on activities or engaging in group discussions the parent can also be reminded of

Applicable learning and the strength of their bond socially.

As to the principle “parents can learn the child” it is also quite relevant because adults

entering the framework of learning bring their own experience and knowledge into the process.

For instance, a parent may lack knowledge in the current approaches of educating a child, but

they can talk to other parents regarding their child’s growth. Parents can also learn new ways of

helping their children at school through the stories and ways that other parents solve similar

problems.

To engage the principle, “Parents can learn from one another,” Ms. Ramirez could

convene a parents’ meeting where parents share—the approaches that worked to correct—a

child’s behavior at homes. Such collaboration not only affirms parents’ subjective perceptions

but also fosters shared meanings regarding where families with children find support.
