So true. I would definitely start having conversations. My son's teacher does do a good job of communicating with me, but I started the dialogue before we even started K because of anxiety issues he has that result in major explosions upon change. She was so great to let him explore her classroom and the school before he started, and as a result, we had no major outbursts. My son is also highly verbal and emotional. He talks incessantly! I believe this has been a real struggle for his teacher because he gets very anxious if he can't get out what he started to say.
I continue to have conversations with his teacher, principal and counselor. In addition, he has a 504 plan for Celiac. The trick is figuring out what their processes are and communicating what you know to be true of your child without coming off as "my child is perfect" It's hard. I think this is a great source!
