Case: Parent Knows It All I had a parent who felt sure she knew exactly what her child should be learning in Pre-K. She would come to me on a weekly basis asking questions and trying to determine why her child was or wasn't learning "this". I gave her a print out of the Georgia Pre-K standards and explained how we used the information to plan. I explained that Pre-K focuses on giving students space to grow socially and learn through experience. This was difficult for her to understand. She still thought the child should be learning more and that I was not preparing him properly for Kindergarten. Needless to say it was a very stressful year. How do you reassure these parents? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) It sounds like this parent is nervous about her child's performance. I would be reassuring to her that her child is getting all of the correct instruction. I would also have done exactly what you did by showing her the standards and the curriculum. I always suggest that they can supplement at home. I, too have a lot of pushy parents. They are so annoying!! |
