- Observe parents at drop off and pick up times with their own child:• Do they speak differently with their child to the way that they speak with staff?• How does their body language change when they speak with a different child (for example, their child’s friend)?• How does their own child respond to them?• Does the parent expect more or less than staff do about the child’s communication and understanding skills?
