I remember a parent meeting last month.
Saya ingat pertemuan dengan orang tua bulan lalu.
I had to share some hard news.
Saya harus menyampaikan kabar yang sulit.
The child was smart but struggled to focus.
Anaknya pintar tapi sulit fokus.
I wanted to be honest, not harsh.
Saya ingin jujur, tapi tidak kasar.
I said, 'I want to share both the good and the tricky.'
Saya bilang, 'Saya ingin berbagi yang baik dan yang sulit.'
The parent looked nervous at first.
Awalnya orang tua itu tampak gugup.
I told them their child was creative and curious.
Saya bilang anaknya kreatif dan penasaran.
Then I mentioned the focus issue gently.
Lalu saya sebutkan masalah fokus dengan lembut.
I said, 'At home, it might help to have short breaks.'
Saya bilang, 'Di rumah, mungkin membantu dengan istirahat pendek.'
The parent's shoulders relaxed.
Bahu orang tua itu rileks.
She asked if we could work together.
Dia bertanya apakah kita bisa bekerja sama.
I replied, 'We are on the same team here.'
Saya jawab, 'Kita satu tim di sini.'
