Teen/Parent Interview

Parents/Guardians:

Students have been given an interview to do with you at home. There are 2 parts of the interview. The first is asking questions about what your child was like as an infant and toddler. This is a fun starting point prior to our unit on childcare. The second part of the interview is asking you and your student to discuss your expectations now that they are teenagers. Studies show that parents/guardians are still the biggest influence on teens; hopefully this assignment will give you and your student an opportunity to share some ideas. Students will not be graded on their answers, but on the completion of the interview.

Interviews are due ______.
