Being Your Child’s Best Advocate
A new school year is beginning which usually means a new teacher, new classroom routines, new expectations and sometimes new stressors and a little anxiety. What can you do to be your child’s best advocate and alleviate some of the stress that comes with a new school year? I believe it starts with relationships. Your child’s teacher will begin building a relationship with each student on the first day of school, but I believe it is important for you as a parent to begin to build that relationship with the teacher as well.
