Communication is very important in teaching.
In the past I was very shy and was afraid of facing all contacting parents. Although it should be part of my work, my job， I feel very very frightened. Probably it is because I lack confidence. Probably it is because I lack skills in communicating.
For ages I was reluctant to join in the parents wechat group. For ages, I refused the the invitation to join in the parents wechat group. Of course, by doing this, I protected myself very very well. However, meanwhile, I definitely missed many chances to get to know my students . At the same time, I definitely missed many opportunities to get to know the parents.
Of course I missed many opportunities to make myself understood by the students and parents. As a result, unfortunately, I missed many, many chances and opportunities to know myself.
Thanks to the COVID- 19 and online teaching at the beginning of 2020, although I was forced to facing the students and parents on the Internet at that time, I learned a lot .
It's valuable.
Now I'm free and brave to contact and communicate with the parents.
The more communication I made was the parents, the more I understand myself, the more I know what I should be.
