Parent teacher conferences are coming up and I used to walk in with the same two questions: “How is she doing?” and “Any concerns?” But I’ve learned the more specific I get the more I learn! Here are the 7 I’m bringing this year: 1️⃣ Who is she sitting and playing with? 2️⃣ When does she light up during the day? 3️⃣ Does she seem comfortable around the other kids? 4️⃣ What does she do when she’s frustrated or doesn’t get her way? 5️⃣ When does she tend to lose focus? A certain time? Subject? Spot in the room? 6️⃣ If she gets stuck or confused, does she ask for help? 7️⃣ What’s one thing you see about her at school that I probably don’t see at home? They go beyond grades - friendships, confidence, focus, and whether she feels like herself at school. At her age, that’s what matters most to me! Number 7 is so good. Last time we asked we learned she focuses better when her hair is up, not down. Who knew?! 😂 Save this for your conference, and send it to the mom who always walks out thinking “I forgot to ask!” Follow along for more mom life tips that make busy weeks feel easier! #momlife #momtips #workingmom #parentteacherconference #everydayexec
