How do you professionally communicate information about a child's development?
Professionally we are responsible for the confidentiality of a child's development. Also, a typed document showing progress and development so that parents can sign off is an effective way. Consistent communication is key and also owning our end of not meeting certain needs for the child.

How do you professionally communicate information about a child's development?
Development when it comes a child education can be a sensitive subject for some parents especially if their child is behind in knowledge or not doing as well as the parent wants them to. I think that it is important to touch base with parents about there child's development from the beginning. I think that if this is the first time you are working with a child and there parent you should ask the parent for goals for the child and ask if there is anything they want the child to focus on. Also ask about past experiences that they know their child had in the past when dealing with certain subjects. opening the door to the parent that they are the experts when it comes to the academic experiences nd that you are here to help enhance there "expertise" can be a great approach, but I think it is important to be careful in allowing them t much power because in the end you are who is with them and teaching in your program when it comes to their academic success. I think it is important to keep information confidential and also take a approach that is positive,non-judgmental and clear.

It is important to always be respectful of the child and their family when talking about growth. If parents ask for more assistance with their child, we should definitely work with them to create a growth plan. However, it is NEVER our job to diagnose a child or encourage them to seek additional help if their family does not agree to it first. We should work to always remain positive and point out what the child is doing well along with where they may need a bit more improvement. Balance and respect is key!

It is so important to follow the steps towards open communication and understanding. First we must start by being descriptive, specific and positive, then acknowledge differences if and when they appear and last but not least be understanding of families' feeling and emotions, as well as specific perspective.

Confidentiality is crucial when communicating information regarding child development. The first step would be a written note home updating the family progress. If a family member wants to have a face-to-face meeting about the child's progress, make sure that it is in a private setting so that no sensitive information is overheard. Giving family members specifics pertaining to the child is important as well. Finally, try to stay as positive as you can be.

I think we need to communicate with the parent without any judgment and being as positive as we can. We need to keep our communication related to their child not others in their class. It is helpful to ask the parents what their opinion is of their child's development. Offer to work with them to encourage the child.
