WEEK 5 BLOG

One of my parents complains all the time about how me and my co-teacher don't put on enough diaper cream or that we put their daughters diaper on too tight, CRAZY things. It had gotten so crazy with her complaining that she took her complaints to our director and our director began to focus the camera in our classroom to make sure that we were  doing things correctly. I wasn't worried about it because Mrs. Linda is very experienced and I am quite savy and educated and people oriented and I have great ideas so I know we weren't doing anything wrong. I took it upon myself to pull the patent asside and asked her could we have a conference. We had the conference and it came to my attention her a d her husband were getting a divorce. It was taking a toll on her and her family. I showed empathy for her because she was obviously  brokenhearted. Sometimes as educators we need to take the initiative to ask questions and show concern. That open communication can be very, very helpful.
