Problem: Consider the following situation:
A parent or guardian shares that he/she is in the process of going through a divorce.
For this discussion, imagine that you are an early childhood education professional and one of your families has voiced one of these concerns to you during a parent-teacher conference. Choose one of the above scenarios and develop a written response that you could use during the conference to address their concerns, offer additional information to support your response, and support open communication going forward. For this response, be sure to focus on effective communication skills, discussed in Chapters 8-10 of the Gestwicki text, as well as your own knowledge. You must use at least two outside resources to support your response. Please see the MAECEL Source Guide for support with locating sources.
