What Every Parent Should Know About Parent-Teacher Conferences

Across the country, parents and teachers are gearing up for their first conferences of the year. Hearing about your child in school can cause new parents a little anxiety. So one mother of three boys shares her advice.

For parents with young children, however, this can be a nerve-wracking experience. We do not know what to expect, which questions are okay to ask, or even what we should learn from our initial meeting with our child's teacher.

When teachers I know worry about talking to parents about a child, I always tell them that all we really want to know is that you love our little boy and that our little girl is happy at school.

I tell them to have one funny, inspiring, cute story about our child and tell that first. Then, if there is anything important or unpleasant to communicate, we will hear it because you just showed us, through that story, that you know our child and that our child makes you laugh or think. In our parent - teacher conference, just show us that you love him.

But what to advise parents with young children heading into their first parent-teacher conference in the coming weeks?

Many walk into the classroom, wondering if he has friends, if the teacher likes her, where he fits in academically with his classmates, and whether, when the time comes after 20 minutes, we can get up out of those tiny chairs.
