As a teacher of infants & toddlers, you should exchange information with each child's parents?

Question

a. monthly

b. primarily in formal settings, such as parent conferences and social.

c. daily

d. mainly in cases of illness or emergency.

Answer 1

Depends on what info you are talking about. It one child hit my child one day without noticeable injury I still want to know about it immediately not wait a week or month or even the next day to hear about it. If my baby or toddler did not eat at all that day it's not an emergency but I still want to know that very day. I quick exchange at pick up time is the more likely answer I would think

Answer 2

C. DAILY

You should let the parents know when they pick up their child anything that happened that day or if the child just had a good day.  "Billy was a big help to me today," or "Billy had a hard time with waiting his turn, but tomorrow we will have a better day" will suffice.  No need to sit them down and do a formal conversation unless it's an issue that needs to be discussed.  I do feel there should be parent conferences, but not everyday to dicuss any progress or talk about what the child does/behaves in class..

Answer 3

Daily communication is key especially with young children or children who can not communicate the day's events to their parents. A brief conversation when a parent picks up the child or a communication note book sent home nightly with updates, questions or concerns keeps the lines of communication open. A monthly or quarterly official report of progress is also common.

Answer 4

What kind of info?

I think I'd go with A.

Answer 5

You could do a weekly newsletter that explains everything that you did/worked on throughout the week.  This often answers most parents questions.  Then you can talk them about specific issues as they come up.

Answer 6

a & d deffinately, parent conferences are always a yes & daily might get a little annoying
