Getting the most out of Parents as Teachers
Things are going through your Parent Educator’s mind, too. She is thinking about you and your child! Your Parent Educator has planned what to discuss based on your interests and your child’s development. Additionally, your Parent Educator will bring a parent-child activity that you can enjoy with your child, often using materials you already have in your home.
You and your Parent Educator are partners in making the most out of your time together. Here are some things you can do to get the most out of participating in Parents as Teachers.
Observe your child. You see your child every day; your Parent Educator visits for a short time. Be ready to share what’s new with your Parent Educator.
Don’t worry about housekeeping. Certainly, it’s helpful to have a clean space where everyone can sit, but your Parent Educator won’t mind if there are dishes in the sink. Relax and enjoy your personal visit.
Minimize distractions. If your pet longs for attention, take him out of the room until your visit is over. A television or radio playing in the background may make it hard for everyone to concentrate. Save chores such as laundry or dishes for after your Parent Educator leaves. Put your phone on mute or turn it off. You will get the most out of your time together if you give your full attention to your child and your Parent Educator.
Let your Parent Educator know your thoughts and feelings. Fully participate in the partnership. Don’t be embarrassed to ask any question you might have. Share your goals for your child and the progress you’re working toward achieving them. Feel free to share fears or things that worry you. Your Parent Educator will keep your comments confidential. Follow up on recommendations. Your Parent Educator will suggest activities you can do with your child between personal visits. Have fun doing these with your child and observe his development. If you and your Parent Educator form a plan for getting special services, follow the plan and make the necessary contacts.
Attend Group Connections. Group Connections can provide new information from experts, allow you to meet other families, and give you fun activities to do with your child. You get the most out of your Parents as Teachers program when you participate in all the components – Personal visits, Group Connections, screening, and using community resources. Thank you for being in Parents as Teachers. Our vision is that all children will learn, grow, and develop to realize their full potential. You are the most important person to make that vision come true for your child.

Easy Apple Pies
Keep this activity super easy by buying pie crust and apple pie filling.
The kids got to roll out the dough, press it into the muffin tin liners, scoop the apples into the muffin tins, and then cover the mini pies with extra dough... attempting to make a lattice. Bake at 425 for 10 minutes. Yummy!
