With a new school year about to begin, some parents find themselves asking “How much should I tell the new teacher about my child?” For some, it’s easy; your child’s education has been smooth sailing.
For parents who have weathered a few storms, though, the answer is not so simple. Your child may have a short history of challenges. For example, last year was suddenly tough because your child had a hard time dealing with the death of a grandparent. Or, your child has had a rough time every year and you’re already steeling yourself for the difficulties of another one.
Two Points of View
One parent said, “Let my child have a fresh start. If there’s a problem, it will show up eventually. Then, I’ll talk to their teacher.”
