As a teacher, my responsibility is to approach correctly when it comes to talking about a child’s developmental screening before discussing it with the child’s family/parent.

First, I must do the observations, and focus on the red flags. Make sure that the red flags are correctly diagnosed, if have some doubts talk to parents more to gather more information about my observations. Then I will build a portfolio based on curriculum achievement and do the statistics about the child’s development at that time. I will work on a child’s portfolio and discuss it with a co-teacher or director. Then I would invite the parent to the table with some coffee/tea and a snack and try delicately to express myself about the child’s developmental skill of his/her age, without using no-objective words. If the parents decide the information to be confidential the child’s portfolio and records will be kept confidential in the director’s office.

Because every child has a development continuum, observing and documenting a child’s development on time will help the teacher/provider to create a curriculum individual for each child’s needs and in this way will help children’s development growth physical, social-emotional, and cognitive skills.

First of all, I will let parents from the start to know the policy of picking up their child by setting clear expectations and consequences. I would have a conversation with the parent to let me know in advance if sometimes the family will pick up late their child.
