How can teachers build better relationships with their students?

Building strong relationships with students involves active listening, showing empathy, and being approachable. What specific challenges are you facing?

I find it hard to connect with my students, especially the shy ones.

Try to create a safe and inclusive environment. Engage shy students with one-on-one conversations or small group activities to help them open up.

That sounds helpful! Any tips on how to approach them?

Start with casual topics they enjoy, like hobbies or interests. Show genuine curiosity and be patient as they warm up to you.

Thanks! I’ll give that a try.
