[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, you'll have to do what you think is best. but if it were me, I wouldn't triangulate this. This is classroom management. It's a classroom management issue, that the teacher ought to be competent to handle.

Since the teacher had a comment, I would have listened, but not done a thing. I probably wouldn't have even mentioned it to my DC. The teacher would have to reach out, personally, more than once. Again, this is classroom management.

If you take on this correction, it keeps the subject alive, front and center for everyone, when maybe it wouldn't have stayed a concern.[/quote]

If the teacher is reaching out then you take actions at home to support the teacher. You let your child know that they need to work on their classroom behavior so that they are not distracting other kids. You can ask your child what is happening and work with them on how they can adjust their behavior. OP said that her DD said that other kids are engaging her, she can role play with her DD how to handle that. Give her some help saying that it isn't time to talk or that she needs to focus on her work. Help her brainstorm what else she can do after she has finished her work so she is less likely to chat.

It helps the teacher for the child to know that the parent supports the teacher. You can discuss it with your child and not make them feel guilty or bad. You say that this is a hard skill to learn and some adults struggle. What seems like innocent chatting can be distracting to other students trying to complete their work. [/quote]
