You know, I was just exciting to me to watch teachers working with the parents tonight and parents so engaged with each other around learning something that can empower them in so many different areas. To support, to monitor and to advocate for your child. These are roles that we really have to be doing with our children throughout their educational careers. Come up with two ways that you are currently supporting your child. First and foremost is I make sure that I have everything that can be felt like I'm supporting my child's remain here to learn how to go forward, making sure that I encourage a regular after school and giving them a team. Keep track of your children's progress, pay attention to their needs. What are you doing to monitor your child? Speak and make specific requests, parents can also advocate for the needs of all children. So here's your question. What are examples of situations in which you have advocated for your child at the school or in other environments? How are you advocating for your child? I was very happy to be here, I was able to learn and learn how to learn and learn and I had to go with the doctor to examine him, to see if he could help me in a program where he could help with what he brought. That was my experience, I did everything to help him to have that help. I had to stepson at a school last year and he came from a different school district in the 5th grade at a first grade in the arena. So by the time he graduated he was reading like 2 and 3, 3 levels above the beginning and he was getting a credit and it's a warning, but that was just like really pushing for him and emailing the district like I need something to happen today and that's tomorrow. So I really am so happy to be here with my child. What could happen if you support and monitor but you don't advocate? You're like the backbone for your child, the morale is up, that their mindset is bright and if you're not advocating them it's kind of like you're not giving them the belief that they can do it. What could happen if you advocate but you don't support and monitor? For me it's confusion, you're trying to help him on one side but you don't know what he's doing in the classroom. I couldn't answer these, I was like because they all really go ahead and hand. Yeah. Can we get someone to give us an example of what is something that you've learned? I put my kids to bed early, make sure they have good breakfast and everything and I didn't realize that as me supporting them until they brought it up. So I was like you know that's something that I was like well you know I'm doing all these other things too that I didn't realize that it was actually really supporting them to that with school and everything as well. Advocate, support and monitor. I think it will help me partner with the teachers because I realized I wasn't really being as strong as an advocate for my child. It probably should have been. It kind of made me notice okay some of the things that I don't do consistently and I think it would be good for other parents to realize that. Well they all go hand in hand you know you can't do one without the other. I feel or that's what I learned today. They're so important in your child's education because a lot of times I mean they're going to school but they can only do so much themselves. A lot of parents realized tonight that they were doing more than they even thought they were. It's literally creating a focus on what it is that you want to do. You know it's clearing away all the clutter and giving down to the essence of whatever the action is. It's something that can make you more effective, more effective and more efficient. They fit together so nicely the three roles for monitor and advocate. I feel like that can help us build trust and relational trust in particular with each other. Then we can do that important work of assuming good intentions on both parts to help move our kids forward.
