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!)
It is important, especially at this age, that all students feel that they, and their hard work, is appreciated and observed. This is probably why the student is shutting down--they feel as if no one cares about what he/she is doing so they don't feel the need to continue doing anything. Most schools have a mentoring program. I think that if the student gets a mentor, especially if it can be a female, this mentor will be able to take a lot of that pain away. The student will able to talk to them, the mentor can come to school functions when the mom can't, and since the student will form a tight relationship with this person, the student won't feel awkward or like a "charity case." |
