When you make your child's teacher feel appreciated and supported, your CHILD benefits. Get on the teacher's team: acknowledge whatever challenges your child has and figure out together, how to best help. Be sure to let the teacher know how much the child likes him or her and, through your own smiles and kind words, ensure that your personal approval comes across as well. A teacher works hard for an appreciative and understanding parent - but is not likely to go that extra mile for one who complains and criticizes. No matter how justified you feel, don't risk your child's year by getting "tough" with the teacher.
