In this paper, we present the results of a research conducted with parents (n = 18) and preschool (kindergarten 5 years old) or primary school (1st, 2nd and 3rd cycle, 6 to 11 years old) teachers (n = 18). The research focuses on relational strategies to promote harmonious relations between parents and teachers. We first present the context and obstacles to school-family relations. We then outline the strategies that promote harmonious parent-teacher relationships and we identify the common and specific perceptions that emerge.</span></p> ER -
