The first week of school... What level of support should we provide in order to achieve success?
As parents, we are highly invested in our children’s educational lives. This is, at times, contradictory to the way we were raised. When we were young our parents trusted that the system would educate and guide their children… but, at what point do we invest in new ways of thinking rather than relying on tradition? As we get our feet wet moving into uncharted waters, we need to arm ourselves with different tools. We’re all afraid to let go of our tried and tested tools. They provide us comfort and security.
We recognize that we need to challenge what’s in our repertoire or we risk complacency. This is what it means to be a professional!
