A comunicação entre família e escola: reflexões necessárias

Abstract

Collaboration between family and school is essential to ensure children’s healthy and successful development. When these two contexts work together, the result is a more enriching environment and also suitable to children's development. This paper aims to analyze how communication occurs between families and schools. As theoretical basis we have Piaget (2007), Gentile (2006) and Silva (2008). A qualitative research was carried out, and for data collection a questionnaire was developed with open-ended questions to early childhood teachers from private schools and also family members of early and elementary learners from public and private stitutions. The results indicate that the responsibility for a child's development must be shared between the family and the school, as both play crucial roles in their learning and well-being. Furthermore, the effective collaboration between families and schools helps to identify and solve problems at early stages, providing a healthy and productive environment for the child's development. The conclusion is that the partnership between families and schools is essential for learning success and children’s emotional well-being. Overcoming obstacles, such as finding someone to blame, is essential to ensure that the cooperation is effective and that the focus will always be into the child's interests.
