Whenever parents visit my clssroom, I feel uncomfortable. My pulse increase and I feel nervous. How can I relax?

It is a very common feeling... :) Sometimes, the longer you teach, the more comfortable you will become... sometimes not.. you may always be a little nervous!

It may help if you feel you are very prepared and organised. If you have good classroom management, the children are involved in activities, and you feel confident in your teaching ability.

You might even practice what you would say to certain questions regarding the curriculum... how you handle different situations, what activities the children do and why, etc..

Remember that you are the professional... you have the training. You bring that training and experience as part of the team with the parent to help their child learn and explore in a safe and loving environment.

Think happy thoughts
