We are a couple of weeks into school and believe it or not, now is the time that issues and conflict may be starting to boil and bubble.
So how do you ensure that the school year stays on the right path and that there will be less stress for you, your child and their teacher?
Follow These Hot Tips For Building Resiliency During Any Parent-Teacher Conflict:
Parent-teacher interviews are usually scheduled for after the first report card. By then the stress or conflict may have grown too large. Set up an appointment and bring any issues out early.
Communication is the key.
Watch that you are not becoming an ‘Helicopter Parent’ who jumps in too soon or hovers around. We need to allow our children to solve their issues and try different strategies.
Be open to the possibility that your child may be part of the problem. Outline with your child the kind of behaviours and attitudes that you expect and let them know that you will be discussing your expectations with their teacher. If the teacher approaches you regarding behaviour or attitudes of your child, try to keep emotionally neutral. Move quickly into problem solving.
Remember that this is a team approach to helping your child succeed.
