"First Notice of Concern"- Parent Conferences for "At-Risk" Students
Teachers are reviewing student grades and will be requesting parent conferences for students who are "at-risk of retention/failing". If you receive a request, please attend the parent conference to discuss where your child is currently performing, learn how the school is intervening, and how you might help! At Luckey Ranch E.S., we stand committed to helping every child reach their potential.
How Do I Stand In Your Shoes?
Understanding how another person feels or “standing in their shoes” is an important social skill for children to learn. The ability to have empathy for others will help students interact and respond to others appropriately.
Two ways for a child to understand how another person feels are to:
- think of a time when they had the same experience and remember how they felt.
- imagine how they might feel in the same situation. It is important for children to remember that not everyone will feel the same way in the same situation. Recognizing nonverbal cues can help us understand how a person might be feeling.
You can encourage your child to build empathy skills by:
Reading books together:
Books provide great examples for children to practice empathy. Ask your child how he/she thinks the child who has no one to play with in one story is feeling or why the little girl in another story might be smiling. Tell your child how you would feel if you were one of those characters. Ask how they would feel or react in a specific situation. These discussions will help your child learn about other people's emotions and relate those feelings to their own.
Setting an example:
Acts of kindness and charity are an excellent way to teach your child empathy. Bring your child along when you are taking a meal to a sick neighbor or a friend with a new baby. Let your child help you pack the bag of clothes to take to the local charity.
Recognizing their actions:
Begin to give names to behaviors so that your child can realize the impact of their actions. Say, "Oh, you're being so kind. You made me feel great" when your child goes out of their way to help you. This will help your child learn that responsiveness to other people’s feelings is recognized and valued. Also, do not be afraid to point out when your child being less than caring. Try saying, "It made your brother really sad when you hit him. What could you do to help him feel better?"YOU CANNOT DO A KINDNESS TOO SOON, FOR YOU NEVER KNOW HOW SOON IT WILL BE TOO LATE. –RALPH WALDO EMERSON
