It’s important to be prepared if you are discussing some challenges with parents. Having practiced what specifically you want to say, how you want to present the issue, and documentation to back up what you are saying. Resources to assist you are always very helpful. If you’re worried about the parents taking your observations the wrong way, you can always talk to your supervisor about the best way to handle it. Make sure that you are objective and that you are speaking about what is in the child’s best interest.
