your cold and flu. >> thank you so much you're such a good sport i love it. up next whether your student struggles or makes really high grades we have advice for you on how to navigate the parent teacher conference. i suggest, parents do all of the talking. don't listen just do all of the talking. >> best way to go into any meeting.

a lot of parent teacher conference are happening right now so our next guest is perfect perfect. >> judy cohen has been through a lot of conferences on the other side. a teacher for 30 years now an academic coach, business owner and author. she does it all. my best tip is go to a parent teacher conference as the parent do a what do you think about that? >> not. >> totally kidding. >> let's talk about what a parent teacher conference is. it's now in the fall and then again in the spring. it's a meeting and let's treat it as a meeting. any meeting you go into you need to be prepared. so parents, prepare yourself for these meetings. >> how do you prepare? >> you're so bossy today. >> what a great question. >> isn't that a great one? >> thank you for asking that. >> you're welcome judy. >> parents we set it up and you knock it down.

>> parents go in with a notebook. in that notebook i want you to right specific questions you want to ask that teacher. >> like what? >> why did my child fail the egyptian civilization test? not why is my child failing tests? but before you do that let's have a discussion with your child. is there something you would like me to discuss with your teacher. specific details. i tell all of my student when is they write, details, details, >> i have a question for you i think a lot of parents want to ask, but most don't. gets a little off your topic we'll get right back on. all three of my kids have said this if i say what do you want me to ask your teacher what do you want to know? they will say i want to know why my teacher doesn't like me. >> i love that. >> what? >> my teachers loved me. >> right. [laughter] >> we know. [laughter]

they are teachers they are authority figures. a child needs to give them respect and professionalism to their teacher. it's not that they don't like that child. they have a job to do and it's a very important hard job. >> is it an okay question or not? >> absolutely. >> is it a common question? >> all the time. >> all the time. >> kids will come home and say i don't like this teacher i know she doesn't like me. look where she put me to sit. then the parent gets a little bit angry, and then the parent walks into the conference and puts a little blame anger, absolutely not take that out of your conference behavior. that wouldn't be my top question to ask the teacher. [laughter] >> okay so what about older kids too. because, you know we had a guest on yesterday that was talking about not being overly involved in your children's performance in school and this and that. and there has got to be a little point where you do take your hand out of it and make sure the responsibility is on the child. how much do the parents need to know? >> that's a whole another show. >> gotcha.

disablement. remember that. there is a point where a parent has to step in, and see what is going on. >> so it is good to ask the question. >> you are still the parent. you still are controlling your child's future up to the point where they leave home. >> balance. >> i do think, balance is a word between advocacy where i sometimes have to do that for the kid and having self-sufficient kids. a couple specific points. you say no general comments. >> no general. do not paint specifics. my child failed the last fraction test. can i see the test? sometimesteachers are not sending home tests. you don't know where the child is going wrong. ask the teach tore see the test. better yet, email the teacher before you go into the conference and say, here's what i want to talk with you about. like any business meeting, education is a business. let's treat it with respect, professionalism, and treat it as a business. you wouldn't go into the google

say hey bud i'm here let's talk. >> right. >> schedule this is an appointment you have a very short time frame. >> what is the time frame you get? >> it all depends on the school or grade level. it could be 15 minutes, it could be 20 minutes you could see one teacher you could see five teachers let's beware of that time frame. >> you always say be courteous of the allotted time. don't be afraid to ask for more time, but set it up at a time that is convenient for the teacher. >> you haven't resolved the issues you came to talk about make an appointment there and then. however you're not going to walk in at 8:00 to have a conference or come in at lunch or 3:00, 3:30 when the kids leave. to you an appointment where everyone can attend, and have a great conference. so that means they may have to have an administrator there, a speech therapist. >> we're running out of time.

kids in the class? >> absolutely not. >> is it okay to cry, blame or bring your younger children or pets? >> huge one. no crying. please say the crying for home. no dogs. no pets. i have seen it no dogs or pets. >> and no small kids. >> if you have a small child please bring a baby-sitter for you because it's hard for your teacher to talk about that child when the toddler is climbing the bookcases. >> what about bringing a treat or sandwich? >> not a problem. >> i think it's a phenomenal thing to do. >> i was joking about doing all of the talking. i think listening this is your chance to learn about your child and how another adult feels your child is performing. >> let me tell you your child probably performs differently at school than at home. listen first before you start getting angry or condemning or blame. leave that somewhere else. >> yeah. >> you'll have a a great time. it's your child let's make it successful. >> there you go. >> what is your website?

services.com. >> you can find out about her book mikey too. kids with autism it's a fans ittic book. -- fantastic book. why the color purple is taking over milwaukee. don't let the medicare

carmen is a little bit about what domestic violence looks like. i think there is always confusion when someone is in a situation they don't feel good. they think this isn't violence, i'm not maybe being hit. what is domestic violence? >> it's a pattern of coercion and control that can include physical, mental, spiritual, emotional violence. victims are incredibly isolated. you don't often see it happening and when you do see it, we have a lethal situation because the perpetrator doesn't care about social norms. most of it happens in private. if you see someone with inexplained injuries seems like they are being controlled. stops coming around. can no longer be with their family. that may be a warning sign they are in a problematic situation and you should figure out a way to say i see you it's not your fault i will help you. >> do you thunk most people reach out for help or keep it

responsibility, these shirts say you can talk to me i'm a safe person. >> when somebody buys the shirt do they also get something with it? >> yes we have partnered with a couple different businesses, lake front brewery, leah's boutique. wear your shirt and go in you will get a discount. can you find out a list of the companies supporting us on the website. >> it's really nice the whole community came together with that. >> i think that's great. it does it shows support for people who are going through this issue that they are not they can get out of the situation, and there is a process and ways to do that. what other activities do you have so that maybe someone can grab their friend and say hey come with me to support this issue, and learn a little bit more. >> tomorrow is wear purple day. we're asking people to wear purple, take pictures of themselves and post it on social media. next week we're having on the 26th a panel conversation about different perspectives related to domestic violence. i would say you can always go to
