A Lesson in Parenting and Advocacy

Once, my daughter was blamed for stealing money from someone’s schoolbag solely because she was the last to leave the locker room. When I came to school and saw my crying kid, I started to shout, stomp my feet, and express all my thoughts angrily.

As my experience shows, all the teachers and headteachers are not used to dealing with such rowdy parents. In most cases, parents prefer not to start a conflict and obediently nod their heads. I believe that parents should sort things out with their kids at home, but they should never scold their offspring in public. And yes, I have a wonderful relationship with my daughter.
