    Helping Parents Recognize that you are a PROFESSIONAL!

    We often hear teachers of young children say "But the parents want....". We need to let parents know what is best for children in early education settings. Do the parents know about all of the training that you do? Do you try and tell parents how to do their jobs?? We want to work with families and educate them on best practices and how not to PUSH their child to do academic things that they may not be ready for... yet.

    When You Need to Make a Statement

    There are times when adults ask questions rather than making a statement when speaking to children. As the adult, we want children to feel safe and feel like the adult is in control of the situation. If the adult asks questions when there needs to be a statement made, a child may come off as being disagreeable when really they are just answering a question! "Okay?"
