School and home are two completely different environments. The teachers is really only able to share classroom strategies that may or may not work at home. The teacher should refer the parent to the counselor who may be able to better assist him or her and even refer the family to an outisde counseling agency, if neccessary. |

Even though the parent approached the teacher for suggestions, I feel as though the teacher should only share with the parent strategies that he or she uses at school and not try to assist the parent with his or her own parenting skills. |

I find that it is a GREAT thing the parent is reaching out to the teacher! As an EBD teacher, this hardly ever happens as parents tend to think WE are the problem. Assist the families and print out things that can help them! If the consistency is at home, it will make your job a LOT easier! |

I agree that home and school are two different environments. However, I like that the parent is soliciting some advice from the teacher. In some instances, teachers spend more time a day with students than their parents. I think that the teacher should inform the parent to be consistent and firm with the child. I have a student, who is angel at school and her parent informed me in a meeting that she is not that way at home. The parent realized that she has spoiled her daughter by giving her everything she wants without making her work for it. At school, we challenge the student to take ownership of their own actions. In addition, I do not think counseling is a bad idea because some of the child's behavior could be do to some things going on deeper at home. |

The teacher should be open to discussion with the parent. However, precaution should be considered. Naturally, the teacher will share strategies used specifically with the child. The teacher could share other strategies that have worked with other behavioral situations. I would suggest having the parent contact their pediatrician to get professional and possible medical recommendations. |

Make sure that the parent understands the home and school environment are completely different and not everything that works for you as a teacher will work for them. That being said, no one is going to be around the student more than their parents and teachers throughout their lives so it can be very beneficial for both parties to have a conversation about the students behavior in each environment and how behavior has been dealt with. Teachers and parents being on the same page is key in student behavior. |
