[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Volunteer at school and hang in the background, and discreetly observe.[/b]

Also ask the teacher for a conference and ask her ahead of time to observe the social dynamics in class so she can tell you what she observes.

What I’ve noticed is that sometimes kids get labeled unlikable and it can stick in a smaller school.  I thinks it’s sort of like bullying but subtle.

Does your dd do unsocial things like read a book instead of chatting during school or at lunch?  Or does she unknowingly say rude or hurtful things?  Or is she the type that complains and doesn’t go along with others?

Do NOT do the bolded in middle school.  Please.

The teens notice their classmates who always have their parents at school, and openly feel sorry for them.  If your kid is awkward or having trouble with friends, don't be that mom.

Show up for the parent events (concerts, etc).  Do not volunteer at school.[/quote]

NP here - I have consistently volunteered at my son's high school now for 3 years.  It is the most loving thing you can do for a child![/quote]

You are wrong.

The kids do not want their parents hanging out at their school during the teen years. That is there space.

Volunteer for the normal teen parent stuff: sports boosters, career day, taking tickets at the musical, band boosters.

Do not volunteer at the school in the classrooms.  Your kid does not want you there. That is their world.  It is embarrassing, not loving to volunteer during the day at your kids middle school or high school.  You went to high school and middle school already. Please don't be that mom. They don't see it as loving. They see it as an embarrassing intrusion.[/quote]
