How to have a successful parent-teacher conference

  • Summary

  • Parent-teacher conferences can seem like high-pressure events.

    There are only 10 or 15 minutes, at most, for you and the teacher to discuss many important things. Plus you want to keep things positive and the teacher engaged. It’s a lot to consider.

    On this episode of Parenting Behavior, host Dr. Andy Kahn will talk about some things you can do to make the conference as successful as possible.
