When a Teacher’s Words Hurt: Am I Being Too Protective?

Lately, I’ve been wrestling with a question that keeps me up at night: Am I overreacting to the way my daughter’s teacher spoke to her? She came home visibly upset, her usual spark dimmed, and shared how her teacher’s tone made her feel small and embarrassed in front of her classmates. As a parent, my first instinct is to shield her from any pain, but I also wonder if I’m letting my emotions cloud my judgment. Have you ever felt torn between advocating for your child and worrying you might be overstepping?
