<div>I would ask to have a private meeting with them and let them know i would like to discuss the child’s development and how we can best support them. I would start by sharing the observation with them of what we have been seeing. Ask them if they have seen the same. Then I would have referrals for them for intervention, I would do it in a positive way let’s get the support in place now. </div>

Sometimes it can be challenging to approach a parent about the developmental screening of their child. I would stay calm and ensure I have all the correct documentation before talking to a parent. I also think it’s important to have a great relationship with all parents because it can be easier to talk to them in the future if anything were ever to come up. It can be hard to communicate these kinds of things to parents because the last thing they want to hear is that their kiddo is not where they should be developmentally.

It is good to give examples of observations so that the parents know what is going on in the classroom. To approach the parents, give them a call or email asking them to meet to speak about the child’s development.

Approaching a parent about developmental screening requires tact, empathy, and a collaborative approach aimed at fostering trust and understanding between all parties involved. Objective documentation with concrete examples, is a must.

Its a good idea to have your records prepared and ready. Review them first before creating a draft of what you would like to talk about with families. Be empathetic towards the parents and understand it may be difficult for them to hear that their child is struggling. Have (non-judgmental) examples ready to help the parents understand your observations and be ready to provide next steps to help support their child.

Whenever approaching a parent about their child, I always show sympathy and concern. I would provide documentation showing their child progress with support then make the appropriate recommendations without being persistent. Finally, I would give the parent space and time to consider my findings.
