I had a talk with a parent today.
Saya bicara dengan orang tua murid hari ini.
I wanted to share both the good and the tricky.
Saya ingin membagikan sisi baik dan sisi sulitnya.
The child is bright and tries hard.
Anaknya pintar dan berusaha keras.
But they struggle to focus during group work.
Tapi ia sulit fokus saat kerja kelompok.
I said, 'He asks great questions in class.'
Saya bilang, 'Dia bertanya bagus di kelas.'
Then I added, 'Group tasks are harder for him.'
Lalu saya tambah, 'Tugas kelompok lebih sulit baginya.'
I suggested, 'At home, it might help to practice turn-taking.'
Saya menyarankan, 'Di rumah, mungkin bisa latihan giliran bicara.'
The parent nodded and looked relieved.
Orang tua itu mengangguk dan tampak lega.
She said she noticed the same thing.
Dia bilang dia lihat hal yang sama.
We are on the same team here.
Kita satu tim di sini.
I felt we built trust by being honest.
Saya rasa kami bangun kepercayaan dengan jujur.
Next time, I will start with strengths again.
Lain kali, saya akan mulai dengan kelebihan lagi.
