Received a communication letter from your child’s adviser telling how he had trouble at school, reports and calls rises.

As parent, how are you going to handle it in a positive way? It is not easy as you think, mixed emotions flowed.  Here are some pro-tips for parents  who are facing child’s problem at school.

Tip # 1  It is not about you. It is about your child. And what is best for him.Sometimes we forgot that our children are still learning and need to be guided. As much as you can put personal feelings aside and focus on your child. This will  enable  you think and  know what really happened.

Tip # 2 Let your child realize that he is responsible for his own action.It is vital that he knows that he is accountable by you and his teacher. If your child has an issue with the work he’s doing  and you believe he is sincerely struggling, talk to his teacher and ask for advise. This will minimize the difficulties within him.

Tip # 3 Communicate regularly with the teacher. This will help you monitor your child’s activity and progress inside the classroom. Recognize that your teacher has a difficult job. Get the full picture when there is a situation at school- don’t simply rely on your child’s retelling  of the story, because he will only see things from his point of view.

Parents are Teacher’s partners in molding the  character. Facing the problem alone may prolong the agony and may cause bigger dilemma among the  children. The sooner  arrangement the better. So facing child’s trouble at school may not be easy but you can work in it positively.
