Finished this nice little read last night—a powerful and practical guide to school-home communication.

My takeaways are:
* Attitude, assumptions, tone, and body language matter—a lot.
* Challenging conversations are opportunities to understand and build relationships.
* We all need to simplify, clarify, and be precise in what we are saying so everyone understands what we are talking about.

This is an easy-to-read book on communicating with parents and caregivers. While the content seems pretty straightforward and common sense, it is often overlooked when educations create (often one-way) communication. Highly suggest for anyone in education who is looking to step up their communication game with families!
