Tone used
Dad tone more on joking.
Mum tone tends to be protective

# data[].attributes.body
Tone
Dad was expecting a more direct feedback
Teacher was rather reserve as the mum was over protective and also not serious about the kids

# data[].attributes.body
Do's
1. Compare kids progress were the same.
2. Sometimes direct feedback may hurt but after comparing, should highlight on where are the problems.
Don't
1. Dad was trying to compare with other kids and his. This will not be a good  as the other kid probably, is trying to do funny things but learning progress were positive
2. Probably not to go round the circle too often.

Yes Dexter, you are correct. In this video, the dad was kidding around most of the time while mum was quite defensive about the son. These are communication barriers that teachers faces daily.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you Jeffrey for the innovative and creative way of replying:) Agreed on what you shared.

# data[].attributes.body
Dexter, you are correct on the barriers faced by the dad. However, the mum was quite upset with the choice of words used by the teacher in this video. In communication, we need to be aware on how to use different communication approaches in different circumstances. Thank you for the sharing!

# data[].attributes.body
Dexter, you shared one of the do’s in this video is that it is all right to compare kids’ progress? We need to be very careful on this. Even as siblings, we do our best not to compare but rather highlighting each strength and weakness and offer solutions to the parents.            In the dont’s section, you shared that we should not go round the bush and I agreed that the teacher should share the direct challenges that the child is facing. And the teacher should not have waited until Parent teacher Conference to share the problem. She should address the issue before.Waiting too long can create new problems through frustration of those involved.

Hi Jeffrey , thank you for the creative way of replying. In this, it actually asked about the communication barriers face by teachers, Would you be able to share further on the teacher’s persepective?

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Jeffrey, thank you for sharing the communication barriers faced by parents in this video . In this video, it could be that the teacher was not warm but she was rather judgemental on the child based on what he drew. And approached the Parents in a negative manner thus resulted in the respond from the Parent. Secondly, The parents was unable to relate to the teacher and felt that the teacher was unapproachable in that sense. Hence communication is very important between teacher and parents.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, You got it correct, Jeff! Thank you for sharing and looking forward to hear your inputs!

# data[].attributes.body
The mum seems overly protective and dad appears to be acting in a not serious way.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that the teacher was responding to the parents in a negative manner and the teacher was not communicating well which make the parents unable to relate to the teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
Dos: Find a positive starting point.
Dont's: Compare one child with another. Everybody is different

# data[].attributes.body
Yes Matthew, the Parents’ body language creates the barriers and wrong signals to the teacher.This causes misunderstanding and communication barriers. Good job!

# data[].attributes.body
Matthew, the teacher indeed was not positive when she was addressing the problems but rather she was judgemental and negative. The Parents on the other hand are unable to relate to the teacher because of the parents felt that there are no inclusion or involvement in the class or school.

# data[].attributes.body
Matthew, yes you highlighted the correct points. Thank You for sharing!

# data[].attributes.body
The teacher uses wrong choice of words, behaves in a negative manner and is judgmental

# data[].attributes.body
In the video, it seems there is a lack of trust between parents too

# data[].attributes.body
The Dos:
1) To be clear about the purpose of the meeting, setting the right goals and communicate correctly with the parents
2) Use simple terms that everyone understand.

The Don’t’s :
1) Don’t wait and sit too long to address the problems
2) Don’t be unfriendly or unapproachable.

Hi Dixon, thank you for sharing. Yes the teacher indeed was not using appropriate choice of words when she address the challenges that the child use. In fact, the power of words make communication different and as humans, we should be mindful.

# data[].attributes.body
Dixon, I agree that Trust is very much needed in Parent and Teacher communication.

# data[].attributes.body
Dixon, yes you got them correct! It is important to be very clear about the objective of the meeting before speaking to the Parents.It will be good if you can also write down what you want to communicate and how you can communicate. And it is definitely not good if we wait too long to address the problem.
