Mississippi Education Connection | MPB’s Parents are Teachers Too initiative

Before your kids started school, you were their primary teacher, instructing them in ABCs and 123s and as they grow, you shift into the role of coach, making sure they finish their homework and get to school on time. But even as children advance through the grades, parents remain their most important teachers. So today we’re taking closer look at MPB’s early childhood training support initiative “Parents Are Teachers Too” with our guests, Director of Early Childhood, Shelia Brown- Robinson and Education Outreach Specialist, Belinda Lane. Plus, we’ll speak with facilitator Janette Kirk and others who will talk about their experience with the program.

Tips of the Week

1.      A parent is a child’s first and most important teacher and supporter. Embrace this role.

2.      A family should spend time having fun learning together because it builds the family bond and makes learning easier.

3.      Speak calmly and positively to children; and don’t be afraid to have critical conversations. Your tone is key.

4.      Make sure you develop and maintain an intentional partnership with teachers.

5.      Children mimic their parents. Let them see you reading and read together.

6.      Television is a part of children’s lives. Watch television together as a family and discuss what you watch.
