  Case: How do you tell a parent his or her child has an odor?
I have a student who constantly comes to school smelly. The odor is that of urine. 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 ask the parent if we could have a conference in person or on the phone, and to them that you think that your child might have a small bladder and ask them if their child as the same problem at home. Explain to the parent you are not trying to tell them what to tell them you are just concerned for the child, and want to make sure it is nothing serious.
