Assistant Professor of Family Studies Dan Puhlman was interviewed by  (FOX22/ABC7, Bangor) about how parents can work with and support their children’s teachers. “One of the things you can do is really get to know the teacher a little bit, talk to them, get to know what they’re thinking about, and give them an opportunity to voice their opinions and perspectives to you about your kid. Just having that open relationship is really the most important thing,” Puhlman said. When it comes to having difficult conversations on topics like their children’s behavior, he said it’s important for parents to remember that teachers want what’s best for their students. “They’re there to help your children be successful, and to achieve the things they can achieve,” he said. “So they’re not there to give you that information to make you angry. They’re there to say, ‘We need to do something about this,’ and to partner with parents.”
