The principal requested that I meet with her and my daughter\u2019s special needs teacher to discuss school policy about dropping off my daughter, assisting her with putting her things away, and picking her up each day.<\/p>\n<p>I am concerned the principal wants to limit my contact with my daughter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There are several reasons why school staff believe they have to limit parental contact.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sometimes, they think parents are over-protective, so the child won\u2019t learn to do things for herself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some parents <em>are<\/em> over-involved \u2013 \u201chelicopter parents\u201d are always hovering.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some teachers complain that parents are a distraction in the classroom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It sounds like your situation is different.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Your child is only three years old. She has been diagnosed with ASD so you probably worry even more than most parents \u2013 and parents are famous for worrying.<\/p>\n<p>Try to help the teacher understand your concerns about your daughter \u2013 that since she is diagnosed with ASD, you want to make sure she\u2019s okay. This is normal protective parent behavior.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t get a positive response from this teacher, maybe your child will have a different teacher next year.<\/p>\n<p>Try to get off on the right foot with the new teacher at the beginning of the year by writing a description of your daughter, her needs, strengths, weaknesses, your concerns \u2013 and offer to help.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a 2-part article with great suggestions for parent-teacher team building.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/blog\/?p=9306\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Ready, Set, Go!
