- - - - Feedback Sandwich
        This is a really good way to handle giving a parent a heads up that their child is having difficulties. You position your constructive feedback in between two positives
      - Be clear about what you would like parents
        to do
        Saying that a child needs to “work on” something or “should not be” engaging in a behavior does not let parents know about how they can help their children. And many parents genuinely may not know how to change a child’s given behavior. The more specific you can be, the better the chances that parents will actively work on the behaviors with their children.
      - Mix in positives with feedback about needed
        improvements
        take time to recognize a child’s positive behaviors, even if you also have to give feedback about things he needs to work on. This can be hard to do when you are pressed for time and frustrated with a child, but it will pay off in the end.
        
        Notes or school cards home
        Sometimes you won’t have time to make a call or won’t remember at the end of a long day what went well. That’s where notes or school cards can be really helpful. If you write down during the day what the child is doing well as well as where he needed to make improvements, then at the end of the day you can send home a note that has positives as well as constructive feedback
        
        Making a phone call home if a child is having a particularly good day or even if they just followed one direction well. Take the time to make a call home to tell their parents what a good job they did. This will make everyone feel good. And it will increase the likelihood that parents will be willing to talk to you in the future, instead of screening your phone calls.
