Parable "A Little Difference"
One eastern ruler had a terrible dream, as if all his teeth fell out one by one. In great agitation, he called the interpreter of dreams to him. He listened to him anxiously and said:
Lord, I must tell you the sad news: you will lose all your loved ones one by one.

I am happy to tell you good news: you will outlive all your relatives.
The ruler was delighted and generously rewarded him for this prediction. The courtiers were very surprised:

He replied:
We both interpreted the dream in the same way, but what is important is not what, but how to say it.

Parable "The Meaning of Life"
Once upon a time there was a Chinese emperor. He ascended the throne not so long ago, was young, educated and inquisitive. Seeing how many unread books were left in the palace library, he realized that he could not read them all. Then he called the court sage and ordered him to write the entire history of mankind.
The sage worked long. Years and decades passed... Once the servants brought five hundred books into the chambers of the emperor, in which the whole history of mankind was described. Although the emperor was no longer young, the thirst for knowledge did not leave him, but he could not spend years reading these books and asked to shorten the story, leaving only the most important.
Again, the sage worked for many years, and now the servants rolled a cart with fifty books into the emperor's chambers. The emperor was already quite old, he understood that he would not have time to read these books, and asked the sage to leave only the most, most important.
Once again the sage set to work. After some time, he managed to fit the entire history of mankind into just one book, but when he brought it, the emperor lay on his deathbed and was so weak that he could not even open this book. And then the emperor asked to express everything even shorter right now, until he had time to go to another world.
The sage opened the book and wrote on the last page just one phrase: "Man is born, suffers and dies."

Parable "Youth and Wisdom"
The wise old cat lay on the grass and basked in the sun. A nimble kitten flew by. He tumbled past the cat, then jumped briskly and began to run in circles again.
What are you doing? the cat asked lazily.
I'm trying to catch my tail! – out of breath, answered the kitten.
But why? the cat laughed.
I was told that the tail is my happiness. If I catch my tail, I will catch my happiness. So I have been chasing the tail for the third day, but it keeps eluding me.
Yes, - the wise old cat smiled, - once, just like you, I ran after my happiness, but it eluded me all the time. I left this idea. After a while, I realized that there is no point in chasing happiness: it always follows me on my heels. Wherever I am, my happiness is always with me; you just need to remember this.

To which the answer followed:
We both interpreted the dream in the same way. But it all depends on what to say, but as to tell.
For effective communication between the teacher and parents, it is necessary to consciously use tactical tricks.
Correct handling.
First of all, it is necessary to choose the optimal form of address, since it is the beginning of the conversation that can affect the success of communication. Most likely, the teacher will greet the parents with the words “good afternoon”, “hello”, “glad to see you”, etc. Very often, teachers, especially kindergarten teachers, ask if it is possible to name parents with whom they have developed a good relationship, no misters". And although there are no strict prohibitions on this subject, the ethics of pedagogical communication still prescribes certain restrictions. It is better to call parents, at least within the walls of a kindergarten or school, by their first name and patronymic (and not just by their first name) and “you” even if you know them well. The “you” form is more neutral, so using it will make it possible to be less dependent on the interlocutor and, if necessary, provide information that is not the most pleasant for him, without experiencing inconvenience.
If the teacher has difficulty remembering names, it is recommended to make a list of the names and patronymics of all parents and keep it in a conspicuous place, for example, under glass on the desktop or on the door. In addition, there are special techniques for remembering names and surnames. One of them is to try to repeat the name of the interlocutor in the very first minutes of communication when meeting (several times).
When preparing for a speech in front of a group of parents, it is also important for the teacher to think over the form of appeal in advance. It would be inappropriate to refer to parents attending parent-teacher meetings as "friends" or "dear ones." And although this fact is known to everyone, often at parent meetings, at which, as a rule, only mothers are present, such appeals as “girls”, “mommies”, “ladies”, etc.
It is obvious that the teacher, addressing the parents of the pupils of the students, must show due respect and attention.
2. Bright start. In order to involve a communication partner in contact, it is necessary to make the very first minutes amazing, unexpected, bright. You should not start with comments or criticism - it is better to create a positive emotional mood at first. It can be something from life, something unexpected, an interesting question. PR: through the mouth of a baby.
The information is relevant and understandable.
Of course, in order for the interlocutor to be interested in communicating with you, it is necessary to have the information necessary for him. But you also need to have a sufficient vocabulary, otherwise you risk simply being misunderstood. Moreover, the ability to use synonyms and antonyms in speech, the ability to build sentences is of great importance. In a conversation with parents, you should not use professional words and expressions.. If you consider it necessary, then, pronouncing terms that may be unfamiliar to them, immediately, without a pause, give a definition of the concept. This will help your parents understand you exactly. In addition, such tactics help to increase the self-esteem of mothers and fathers (and especially the elderly, who sometimes find it difficult to keep abreast of modern changes in the language), as well as establishing contact, equal communication.
Serious preparation is needed - to know the material well.
