How to Handle Complains from School, Society, Friends?

Complaints are very odd situation for any mom, especially when it’s about our own kids !

I am not going into the thesis of handling complaints as I believe it’s differently handled with different situations. What works for one school may not apply to another school. So the best way is to be open, be guided by the one’s own set of values and never attempt to please others or reprimand your kid in front of others to satisfy them.

So, what goes in a child’s brain is something we will not know unless we discuss it with them. Hence no point reacting when someone comes with a complaint about my kid.
