“We are all in this canoe together.”🛶

Ever sat and wondered why a parent is being difficult?🫩

Yes, sometimes we face denial, and sometimes parents simply don’t understand the gravity of what we are trying to communicate.

When we put ourselves in their shoes, the difficulty and denial often become easier to understand. As educators, it is important to remind parents that we are on the same team. We all want what is best for the child.

Communication matters—not only what we say, but how we say it. Be clear in your recommendations and concerns, while reassuring parents that you are not giving up on their child. This is a journey we are tackling together.

Praise also goes a long way. Don’t focus only on what isn’t working; celebrate what is. “Your child has improved so much in this area.” “We’re seeing progress here.” Then discuss the areas that still need support.

Building a child’s confidence starts with building the confidence of the adults supporting them. Together, we can give every child the best opportunity to succeed. ❤️
