Default Re: Teach English in/to a family

I agree with Mark - teach to the child, playing lots of games which involve the parents too. But the important thing is that the parents understand what you're doing and why - they can adapt to a methodology aimed at a child (and learn some games and activities that they can go on doing between lessons for reinforcement). But if you ask the child to adapt to a methodology for adults, he'll just get bored and demotivated. So if they want family lessons, it has to be with that provviso.
