Set expectations too high.
Parents who are teachers may have high expectations for their children and think that their children should behave as well as themselves. This expectation may lead parents to excessively interfere and control their children's learning, instead of giving them enough autonomy and freedom.
Fatigue and stress
As teachers, they need to cope with the heavy workload and various needs of students, which may lead to fatigue and stress in their family life. In this case, they may not have enough energy and patience to deal with their children's learning and behavior problems.
Excessive intervention
Parents who are teachers may interfere excessively with their children's learning and behavior, and try to guide and control them in all aspects. This kind of intervention may make children feel depressed and powerless, leading to their loss of self-confidence and motivation.
Disciplinary differences
Parents who are teachers may do well in their own professional fields, but they are not familiar with the knowledge and skills in other disciplines or fields. This may cause them to be unable to effectively guide their children to learn in other aspects.
Different roles
In school, teachers are authorities and leaders, while in family, teachers are parents and parents. These two roles have different characteristics and expectations, which may bring challenges for parents to educate their children.
Reflections on educational methods
To sum up, there may be various reasons why teachers' parents encounter challenges in the process of educating their children. Parents should seriously think about their own educational methods, find methods suitable for their children, and at the same time keep an open mind and keep learning and growing.
