When a Teacher Isn’t a Good Fit

At some point, your child will likely have a teacher they just don’t click with. In this Dear Teenagers video, Dr. Lisa Damour speaks directly to students about how to turn this inevitable challenge into an opportunity for growth. You can share the video with your teen, watch it together with them, or use it to guide a conversation about how they can get something good from having a teacher who’s not their cup of tea.
