Build communication with parents on trusting, partnership principles, because you have one goal - the upbringing of a harmoniously developed personality. If the teacher chooses an edifying, moralizing tone, the position of the "main", then fruitful communication will not work.

The meeting should be interesting, memorable, end with positive notes.

Avoid orders and orders. Try not to use words like "do, do, do not, " etc. Such phrases are annoying. Communication will be unproductive, inefficient.
