Show Notes
Are you ready for school to begin? Avoid being hated by your child’s teacher and listen to this podcast with Jess. In this week’s episode she shares insider tips on how to get your kids ready for the school year and how to have a great relationship with their teacher.
Take Aways:
1. Make sure bed times and routines are in place before the school year starts. Start practicing a week before school starts so your kids are use to waking up early and going to bed earlier.
2. Read to your kids in the evenings.
3. Introduce yourself to your child’s teacher and follow up a few days later with an email.
4. If you do have a problem with your child’s teacher, communicate using “I” and always assume the best.
5. If you need to have a conversation with your child’s teacher, make an appointment. The carpool line is not the place to have an in depth discussion about your child’s grade.
