Such great advice! Not just for interacting with parents, but in many other life situations when you are confronted with challenging and possibly angry people.

@@watvid1 I dealt with that my senior year of high school because this parent was so rude setting up for the craft fair early in the morning. I was so glad after my shift was over because that parent tried to get me to do something that I was not supposed to because a physician told I could not do do to having a procedure done and told not to do that.After performing at craft fair I was glad to go to a place that had a happy hour and get a nonalcoholic dackery

@@kayleegoff141 That sucks, I'll be doing my teacher training year this September if all goes as planned, will be plenty to learn. I'll see how direct I can be with parents :D

Needed this as the end of year lies and summer school letters go out.

I can’t even tell you how much I needed this video today. I have been dealing with a really intense parent/student situation and I used the language in this video. So grateful for this. Thank you

Amazing advice! I agree with you, when you come from a place of genuine concern and not a gotcha type attitude, parents and students will be less defensive as well. They can't blame you for wanting the best for their child. Thanks for your wisdom!

This is something I need to work on myself as a new ESL Middle School Social Studies teacher. Thank you for these tips. I appreciate the shirt you wore for this video as well!

Just came here to say that I recommended this to my friend, a new teacher, when they were about to go into a really difficult parent-teacher conference. It apparently saved the day! I got a new video game as thanks for recommending. ;) So....Thanks for offering the advice!!!

Wow that’s awesome ! Thanks for sharing it!

I find this very helpful, my number one fear is confrontation and I know when I go into teaching the possibility of dealing with confrontation sends me into a complete systematic shutdown, but with these tips, I think it'll help. Thank you :)

Amazing!! Thank you for this.

Setting hours is one of the best new changes I have made this year. My students know them and it actually makes them do more of their work as school-since they know there is a chance that I may not get back to them in the evening.

Setting appropriate boundaries is so important, both for your health and to set a healthy example for your students.

Another great video, as always! Knowing how to communicate with parents is equally as important to how you communicate with your students. Btw: I checked your website. Those are some must have items for my future career in teaching. I also subscribed to the newsletter 😄

A great resource!!

You have such great takes. Thanks for another fantastic resource. (PS your editing style is rad!)

What about when you have to call the parent about the child's behavior, and you get cursed out right away? "Stop calling my f#%@*% house, Mr. / Ms. Teacher!" This video presumes that a parent actually has that empathy and care for their child. In so many cases, they don't really care what their child does at all. They just don't want to take any responsibility for what happens in your classroom. They believe it's your class, so it's your problem.

As a fellow teacher, I completely get what you're saying here. My advice would be to keep communication strictly to email. If a parent doesn't want to respond back, then you have records and dates of when you tried to reach out. If they do respond back, usually they have to think it before they ink it. If they still come across as belligerent, I just forward the email to administration and ask for guidance how to respond. There's no perfect science here but if it ever turned into a lawsuit, you have all the records you need to CYA. Hope that helps but sometimes it's best to avoid phone calls or conferences if you can because some parents are in such denial about their kids now you can't reason with them. Parents will always stand up FOR their kids but never TO them and that's the reality of the era we live in unfortunately.

Thanks Reynolds 🤜🤛

Please help. I have changed careers and now teach law enforcement class, was previously in law enforcement for many years. I’ve never taught. Can you do video or give me hints something? Some of us have never had any training but it’s what I wanted. So now what?

What will you do if the parents already threatening you that he will let the principal know that you're mistreating his /her child?

PLease show your preclass. I am so curious

What would you say to a parent upset about their child being bullied? What are some of your strategies?

Hi Ruth. This is a huge question but here is my abbreviated answer. I would let the parent know exactly what is happening and how the school can help. I would connect them with the school counselor and the admin. I would also let them know that my room is a safe space for their child and that I will do my best to stop any bullying while in my company. If something does get by me it will be dealt with immediately. I would also find other teachers that are willing to partner with you to help that kid feel safe, seen, and cared for.

An angry parent is an involved parent. I'd rather have an involved parent upset with me and supportive of their child than blatantly ignoring their child.

Simping for toxic parents bye
