Some good ways to approach sharing your observations with a parent are to discuss your observations with a co-worker prior to approaching a parent to practice how you will present the information. Share the recorded observations and use supporting evidence from the guidelines you used as resources. Allow the parent time to process and respond to what you have shared and listen to any concerns they may have as well. Support the parent with resources and tools that they can pursue to help their child develop or to identify any delays with a professional.
