One of the hardest—but most important—parts of teaching is having honest, compassionate conversations with parents when we see their child struggling.
These talks can change everything. In this video, we’ll walk through how to approach those conversations with confidence and care:
✅ How to start with strengths and build trust
✅ What to say when you notice learning challenges
✅ How to invite parents into partnership
✅ Simple ways to explain evaluations and IEPs
✅ Why early intervention is critical (before age nine!)
When teachers and parents work together early, we can change the trajectory of a child’s life. Because every child is designed to learn—and with the right support, they can thrive.
