They think their child does not lie and will never intentionally hurt or make fun of someone else. The Principal has even brought this up to the attention of the parent. The parent is quick to blame the actions on other students instead of their child. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I have worked with many of those parents. I have found that they usually get so defensive because they are at a loss for undesired behavior. They are also used to being blamed by previous teachers for their child's poor behavior. What I found worked best was to create a good relationship with the parents. They needed help, not just problems. I empathized as much as I could. I would then explain how some of these behaviors are normal or age appropriate. Then I would try and ask the parents if they found if something worked at home for them. I would also come to them with research based solutions, several of them. Then we created a small action plan to help the student correct the behavior at both home and school. They can't learn if they always feel like they are in trouble.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This solution has many great ideas and helpful tips for me to learn.

It is very considerate of the child's situation themselves, as well as the parents impact or involvement. The solution builds a relationship at home, and aims to cooperate to fix problems present at school and home. Rated On: November 14, 2022 3:02 am Rated By: Triston Williams
