Parent Letter (Friendly) Building Autonomy in Children (Editable)

This is a friendly letter to parents from the teacher.

-Parents often feel as if they should swoop in and rescue their children when they are learning a new skill. Parents, offer guidance when needed but encourage your scholar to problem-solve independently first. Letting your child know you are there for needed support, but that you expect them to try full heartily sets boundaries.

*Letting children struggle (safely).

-Every child encounters failure at some point. Trying and making mistakes or failing is part of growth. Allow your learner to understand what healthy limits and expectations look like by setting clear homework expectations especially when they show you they can do it but would rather you did it.
