 Our world is in crisis, and it feels like there are new Revolutions starting every month. Personally, I don't think there is anything more important right now than helping other, especially youth, find their authentic voice and share it respectfully. There are many parents, teachers, and organizations doing just this, and what would our communities and world be like if EVERYONE was actively involved? I encourage everyone to discover how they can join THIS Revolution.
Warmly, Tricia

 Publicly sharing one's experience and truth is not always easy, and it's so important for learning, growth, and positive change to take place within all of us and in our world. It takes practice, patience, respect, and support from each other. Heartfelt stories and intentions are key. May you find the heart in your voice and your actions to help pave the way. Warmly, Tricia
 While recently reviewing all my blog posts since 2013, I was reminded that the basic things in life are always relevant. So after a little updating and polishing, I've just reposted. I hope you gain insight and inspiration for change. Have fun!
Warmly, Tricia www.tlgconsultingvt.org/blog  Communication with your child's teacher is SO important. Ideally the child is communicating on her own, and if that is not possible, you need to keep the communication open.
Things to remember: 1. You only have control of your own communication, actions and intentions. Be respectful, regardless of the situation. 2. Your child may act and perform very different at home and at school. 3. Listen carefully to the teacher's ideas before telling her what to do with your child. As long as your child is happy and moving forward, there are many ways to get from A to Z. 4. Listen to your child's words or watch for unusual behaviors at home. You'll know if things at school are "off." Don't jump right in immediately [unless it's a safety issue], and don't let a bad situation linger.....find the balance. 5. What do you think my daughter/son needs to move forward? Can I help? What is the best way to follow up with you, if the plan is not working? 6. Be persistent and not annoying! Yes, your child deserves to thrive. 7. Continue to teach and encourage your child to communicate with her teacher directly and acknowledge your child when this is happening. Ask the teacher to do the same....everyone wins! Tricia (original post 9/2014)  I am amazed at all the wisdom that is out there waiting for us to notice. Sometimes it works to take the wisdom at face value; however, I am equally amazed at how we perceive, twist, make sense of, and integrate all of what we encounter each day. Look, listen, share...and have fun! Tricia (original post 1/2015) |
