Week 10: Parents and Teachers Are on the Same Team
This semester, Rachel Sanborn’s Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Snapshot will feature weekly, parent-friendly takeaways from Jessica Lahey’s book The Gift of Failure. Mrs. Sanborn, along with Student Achievement Coordinator, Donna Finch will wrap up the series with a book talk at the December 1st Parent Council Coffee.
When our children struggle at school, it can be tempting to immediately advocate, intervene, or try to make things easier. Lahey encourages parents and teachers to work together to build responsibility and independence, rather than unintentionally creating dependence. Instead of asking, “What can we do to fix this?” we might ask, “What can my child learn from this experience, and how can we support them?” A strong parent-teacher partnership keeps the focus on helping children become capable, responsible learners.
