I have notified the counselor who plans on talking with the child. Should I discuss this odor issue with the parents or let it ride to see if the problem continues? If it does, what should I do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would directly speak with the child's parents over the phone when the child is not present and figure out what is going on. Make sure the child is not around because this can be very embarrassing for him/her.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I would not go straight for a phone call with the parents I would discuss more with the counselor and if I called I would involve the counselor in the conversation as a witness.

I think it would be smarter to have the child speak with the counselor first. If no information is found, then the parents.
