[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not share.

EmWhat is your purpose in sharing? I think you are proud of her test results. You are not going to get the support you want from this corner. I know it sucks, but you know this, so protect yourself.

No reason for grandparents to know about kid’s DIBELS. Like literally, most won’t understand, and the others will be like your dad & other posters’ parents who become WebMd experts. Stop & find other people to share these victories with, & find other victories to share with parents - videos of her reading a book, singing a song she worked to memorize, etc.

She is going to be older & cognizant of these conversations & what you are saying & what he is saying. If you feel bad about what he says now, think about how she’ll feel when she overhears one of these conversations between you 2 in a few years. [/quote]

I’ve thought a lot about your last comment in particular. You’re so right. A huge part of this for us is making sure DD’s self-esteem stays as intact as we can make it. It would be so harmful if she heard my dad question the results of assessments or question the qualifications of her teachers.[/quote]
