You vs. Your Kid's School (And How To Get on the Same Page)

Is your child learning values or lessons at school that are not in line with your own? Do they discipline in a way that you don't agree with? It's not unusual for teachers and parents to butt heads over a child's learning. Here's how to address the problem without coming in too hot.

Blaire and Molly discuss:

The importance of finding (and staying) calm before starting a discussion

How to find common ground with your child's teacher

Constructive methods for finding a solution together

Coming in with facts, not feelings, is key. When our kids are involved, it's easy to get emotional and heavily invested in a situation. But it's important to remember that both you and your child's teacher want what's best for your kid.
