Case: Mom is too busy
In my Kindergarten classroom I have a repeating student. This year his mom is a single parent. He is one of 3 children in the home. His mom works 2 jobs to be the sole supporter for the family. She us unable to attend most functions at school such as class parties and award ceremonies. My student gets very sad when other parents are there and his mom is not. As a result he shuts down. He won't do his work, he acts out, and he cries. His mother is aware of the issue but is not in a position to make changes to her work schedule. How can we help this child not feel let down and insignificant?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Is there no other relative that could come? Such as grandparents, aunts, or even older cousins? If not you said their are two other children in his home, do any of the other attend the same school? If they do I would let the other children come in for the functions but for allotted time so the other child's learning is not being disruptive. In addition I would try working on some elf esteem exercises or talking to a counselor. |

Comments: This solution is helpful. I would definitely try to see if there was anyone else that could come to the functions. Or check to see if a tutor, or school volunteer could possibly step in. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. Trying to incorporate some of the other family members into the picture along with self esteem exercises and/or talking to a counselor can help to lesson the feeling he may feel that his mother is not at the school functions. |

Comments: I think it is a good idea to have other family members come and support the student so he does not feel alone. Talking to a guidance counselor is also a great idea because the student is clearly experiencing emotional problems because of his lack of interaction with his mother. Having him talk about these feelings now and figuring out solutions will keep him from harboring these feelings and creating problems down the road. |
