Case: Over protective parents When the first day of school rolls around, many parents are eager to have their children start school. However, there are a few parents are not willing to let their children go. This can be a fine thread to walk. You must handle the situation very lightly. A student in my 3rd grade class was in this exact situation. His parents were constantly calling in asking how he was doing and how his grades were? At what point do you just say "wait for the report cards." Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) You say that the parents were "constantly" calling but we do not know what "constantly" means to you. This could mean twice a day, everyday, or once a week. I would never discourage parents from contacting me to find out about their child. Third grade is a critical year for retention. This may be playing a role in their anxiety. I would offer to send home a progress report every week if the parents would find that helpful. |
