When teacher asks to speak to you

[Adropofink]

I’m just wondering what your reaction/what action you would take. So I got asked for a chat at pick up today, child has been increasingly silly for a few weeks, chatty and got sent out of class today. I’m being told today so we can ‘nip it in the bud’ but what do I do now, how exactly to nip it in the bud?

I’ve spoken to child, told them they need to behave, ‘it wasn’t their fault’ apparently but I’ve said take responsibility for your own actions and don’t be disruptive.

Do I need to do anything else? I’ve asked teacher about potential causes for the change in behaviour- are they struggling with the work, finding it too easy, struggling socially so trying to show off etc. No reply on that so far.

You’ve done all you need to do for now. Teachers given you the heads up. You’ve spoken to your child about their behaviour. Child has learned that school and home are not mutually exclusive and one can have consequences on the other as a start, your mum being disappointed.

You've done what I'd do, but I'd also follow up with "and if you don't behave in future, you won't be doing x, y, z or getting a, b, c if I'm spoken to by Miss again"
