The imperfect child; so what if your first parent-teacher conference is less than glowing?

Article Abstract:

Parents of a 3 1/2-year-old child, who had his first school parent-teacher conference half-way into his first year of nursery school, were disappointed by the teacher's comments. They had expected praise on their son's behavior. Instead they were given recommendations for improving his behavior. After reconciling parental ego versus the son's negative behavior, the parents were able to work toward resolving the problems.
