Do you feel intimidated when you think of talking with your child’s teacher? What if your child complains about problems with his or her teacher? What do you do then? Here are some tips to help you communicate and connect with your child’s teacher so that all involved can have an amazing school year. Teachers like to meet parents at the beginning of the school year so that if a problem does occur, a teacher’s first encounter with a parent isn’t a call about misbehavior or academic struggles. If your school hosts a Back-to-School Night in the days before school starts, make it a priority to attend. If your school does a virtual get-to-know you instead, connect to that meeting. Introduce yourself and show your support for the teacher.
