  Case: Letting Go
Teaching four year old children can be difficult, because some of the students' parents are not ready to let their children be independent. For example, I have a parent that does not let her child go on field trips unless she can go. By doing this, the child is missing out on a lot of great experiences. How can I convince this parent to let her child attend field trips?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This parent clearly does not feel at ease with her child going on field trips. Have you had a conversation to find out why? If so, you may be able to easily address her concerns. Does her student have a friend in the class that she has built a relationship with the parents and can they take turns chaperoning the field trips?

Comments: I think this is the best suggestion because it tries to ease the issue but does not overstep boundaries since the children are still so young. Four years old is not yet old enough to be able to know what to do on their own should something happen.
