As a parent, giving trust over to a teacher is not the easiest thing in the world. Here are a few areas of potential conflict, and strategies that you can use in order to overcome them.

Differences in Teaching VS Parenting: The role of the teacher is inherently going to be different than the role of the parent. While conflict is likely to come up at some point, it is worth noting that a teacher's job is to get their student through the curriculum and support them academically. To break down barriers before they form, we recommend that you spend time getting to know your teacher on a personal level, and to remain in touch in order to ensure that your child gets the best possible learning experience.

Busyness: Parents and teachers alike run into conflicts with scheduling what they need to do, along with what their children need to do. Again, contacting teachers and making them aware of your availability is your best bet for success here. Mapping out a plan for every month is a smart option, as teachers are expected to do the same thing.

Personal Issues: Sometimes, there are things in life that will mess with you no matter what you do. When you run into issues on your end and there's something that you think we can do, don't hesitate to speak with us. We can be flexible as long as you can be reasonable.

In short, there's nothing that we can't work out together, but you have to keep in touch with us, and be mindful of your child. Together, we can accomplish so much to make your child's learning experience the best that it can possibly be.

Both of these assignments need only what you have around your house. Aside from a pencil and paper to record some information, no supplies are needed to play either of these games.

Activity 1: Counting Game.

Test your child's ability to recognize quantities of objects in a room of your household. The play the game, you need to take the following actions:

1. Make sure that your child is able to count up to 30, or more if they know how to.

2. Enter a specific room with your child. Ask them how many of a specific object can be seen in the room.

3. Once they have counted, count yourself to make sure that their total proves to be accurate.

If they are struggling to count higher numbers, then you can help walk them through it. If they have miscounted how many or how few objects there are in a room, then count with them so that they know how to correct their mistake.

Activity 2: Alphabet Game.

Test your child's ability to associate letters in the alphabet with household objects that you possess. To play the game, you need to take the following actions:

1. Make sure that your child can recite the alphabet from memory.

2. Get your child to lead you to a place with an item that starts with a specific letter. (If the house does not have an item that begins with a specific letter, then you can ask them to name an item that might begin with a specific letter instead.)

3. Upon hearing what your child has identified, write it down. Repeat the process until you have found something that represents each letter.

If your child cannot name a letter, then you should get your child to focus their Alphabet studies on learning it.
