I've often had to get creative at finding transportation for my choir students. What does she do after school normally? |

You need to initiate. Call the teacher/coach. Frame the problem as you a my child wants to participate and I don't know how to help her/him do that. Offer what help you can: I can't transport her there on week-days, but I could take the kids to the week-end meets (or whatever extras you could do.) Then ask for suggestions on how to get child to/from activity. The teacher/coach may not have ideas immediately--give them your name and number, and ask them to call if they think of something, or authorize them to give your number to another parent who might be able to help. If another parent offers to help with transportation, find out how you can help in return. Offer to take kids to week-end events, send snacks with your child where appropriate, etc. At a minimum, make sure they know you (and your child,) appreciate their help... and that you are not just using them as a free service, or baby-sitting. People are often willing to help, but don't like to feel used. If you ask for help, you will likely get it. Good luck. |
