Communicating with Parents
I am currently exiting out students I was seeing for individual counseling as we near the end of the school year. I have seen some of them since October. The last time I interacted with most of their parents was when I reached out to get the counseling consent form signed. Now I am drafting emails to parents to notify them that counseling with me has concluded, with a brief summary on what we worked on. Sometimes I include a line with a link to a counseling center in the community.
I’m curious - do you guys communicate with parents more frequently than this? Suddenly I am feeling guilty and self conscious that parents may have expected to hear more from me. Should I apologize for not reaching out more?
Elementary counseling is such a lonely field and I need any guidance I can get.
