Sue Baldwin - Tips

Teaming with Parents

• Introduce the parents to their child's prospective teaching staff
  before the child starts the program.
• Spend time training staff on issues of working with parents.
  These issues should be high on your priority list of training musts.
• Respect parents' diversity.
• Put limits and boundaries in writing so that parents
  know what can and cannot be discussed about other
  children or about confidential issues.
• Remember that, almost without exception,
  parents love their children and want what's best for them.
