The teacher mentioned a concern, or your child is unhappy, or something just seems off. Here's how to figure out what's going on without panicking or dismissing it.
Tammy Gold, LCSW, spent years matching families with nannies before writing Secrets of the Nanny Whisperer (Penguin). Today she works beside families, and their agencies, as a neutral expert: defining the job, interviewing candidates, checking references and setting up the first 30 days.
Ask for specifics: when it happens, what precedes it, what helps. Teachers see your child in a setting you don't, and specifics turn a vague concern into something you can act on.
Share what you know from home — what calms your child, recent changes, what works at bedtime. The best outcomes come when home and school use the same approach.
If concerns persist, involve multiple settings, or touch on speech, motor skills, or social connection, raise them with your pediatrician. Early support is far more effective than waiting, and asking early is care, not overreaction.
A Care Map call maps your child across all four domains to find what's actually driving the struggle, and Childcare Expert Access supports you through the year.
