Both parents and teachers play a pivotal role in educating a child. Parents are a child's first teacher. They teach essential life and academic skills while providing love and support that help students healthily develop.
The Parents as Teachers model aims to (1) increase parent knowledge of early childhood development and improve parenting practices, (2) provide early detection of developmental delays and health issues, (3) prevent child abuse and neglect, and (4) increase children's school readiness and school success.
With funding from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and The Danforth Foundation, Parents as Teachers began in 1981 in Missouri as a pilot project for first-time parents of newborns.
This randomized controlled study showed that children who participated in Parents as Teachers demonstrated higher adaptive behavior, self-control, child development, language skills, and vocabulary (Schaub, Ramseier, Neuhauser, Burkhardt, & Lanfranchi, 2019).
Parents are the one responsible for providing the needs of their children like love, attention, support, material things and most of all knowledge. Parents are indeed the best teachers of their children; they give knowledge in several ways. First, they're the one who teach their child to talk in their early age.
Ultimately, parents must maintain discipline and control of their children's behavior, whether at school or away from school. The parental duty in this regard includes direct responsibility for all aspects of children's conduct and financial liability for their misconduct or negligence.
Teachers spend time preparing children to learn academic skills by creating lesson plans, classwork and homework assignments. Parents try to make sure their children complete homework assignments, turn them in on time and sometimes provide academic enrichment through after-school tutoring and learning games.
parent-education programThe Parents as Teachers (PAT) program is a parent-education program that includes home visiting and is designed to begin prenatally or at birth.
When parents are warm, responsive, encouraging, and communicative—the key elements of developmental parenting—they lay the foundation for young children's school readiness, social competence, and mental health.
There are four interrelated and integrated components to the PAT model: personal visits, group connections, screening, and resource network.
