January 15, 2010, Newsletter Issue #124: Kid Hates Their Teacher?

Tip of the Week

Does your child have a teacher or two that they just can´t stand to be around? Everyone does! So what can you do about it?

That depends a lot on what bothers your child about this person. Somethings your child will just need to give that person the right to be different about, and let it go. For example, clothes your grandmother wouldn´t even wear ... simply explain to your child that to some people, being in style or even in taste is not important.

This person might have a hobby or some personal reason for choosing to dress that way. And remember that the stylish things they are wearing now might seem silly to them in ten or twenty years. Be sure that what bothers them is worth the trouble of being bothered about.

On the other hand, don´t overlook your child´s opinion. Really listen to what your child has to say. Ask questions. Try to really weed out the facts from the fiction. In today´s day and age, you can never be too carefull.

Many other things may need some ideas from an expert or counselor to work out. Talk to your child´s principal. That is what they are there for.
