Engaging with Parents: The 10 Most Important Parent Meetings in Preschool

Why is a child sometimes so angry? What skills should a preschooler have? Parents regularly ask educators such complex questions in passing. Parent evenings are a great opportunity to address these questions, provide professional answers, and initiate a dialogue. With their moderation cards for parent meetings in preschool, Ursula Günster-Schöning and Christa Müller offer design ideas and expertise in a compact format:

• Conduct parent evenings in an informative, competent, and respectful manner
• From settling in at preschool to school readiness: insights on topics that matter to parents
• 10 sturdy moderation cards and plenty of background information for individual preparation
• Includes free downloadable materials: flipchart and poster templates as well as literature recommendations
• Can be supplemented with the Don Bosco set “55 Methods for Successful Team Meetings and Parent Evenings in Preschool”

From Parent Evening to Parent Involvement: Tips for Educational Practice

The moderation cards provide a guide for successfully conducting parent evenings in preschool. Covering everything from getting to know each other to introducing the topic, facilitating discussions, and conducting feedback rounds, all aspects of good moderation are addressed.

However, many topics discussed at such evenings carry potential for conflict, such as eating habits, setting boundaries, and children's fears. Therefore, they need to be introduced sensitively. With the authors' tips, you can prepare for all parental questions and maintain an overview during the parent evening!.
