Parents Need Parenting
Some parents have lost their perception of right and wrong behaviors, and sometimes even
simple decisions are tough. It's these parents that will try to bully the teacher and the school.
They do not have the ability to cooperate when they disagree and can wreak havoc in an
educational setting. These parents need to be agreed with immediately. You heard right; agreed
with. But, agree in principal, not with the content. Let them know that you can see things from
their perspective, but work with them to see things from your perspective. Instead of a tug of
war, move to their side of the rope. Or better The young parents of today need parenting. Parents
who have left home with a rebellious attitude may not even be speaking with their own parents
yet, let go of the rope. Ease into conversations with these parents and lose your fear of being
yelled at. Be an empathic listener, and don't argue. They need to be taught, and you are going to
do it.
