How to Handle Difficult Parents

<p class="p1">By the time December rolls around, it's very likely that you have had at least one experience with a difficult parent. Maybe it was during a parent-teacher conference, or maybe it was a nasty email or phone call. Facing a parent who has a complaint or is challenging you in some way is extremely difficult to deal with, especially because you probably haven't had any preparation for these scenarios. Learning to handle parents effectively is a learned skill set and having strategies in place will help you to feel calm and confident when faced with difficult parents in the future. I'm sharing some entertaining, yet very relatable, examples and words of wisdom from Suzanne Tingley's book, How to Handle Difficult Parents. </p> <p class="p1">Show Notes: <a href= "https://www.drlorifriesen.com/blog/how-to-handle-difficult-parents"> https://www.drlorifriesen.com/blog/how-to-handle-difficult-parents</a></p> <p class="p1">Watch my FREE masterclass, <span class= "s1"><a href="https://www.drlorifriesen.com/">5 Classroom-Tested Ways to Enjoy the Holiday Season with Your Students.</a></span></p> <p>Join our Beginning Teacher Talk Private FB Group now: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/BeginningTeacherTalkGroup/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/BeginningTeacherTalkGroup/</a></p> <p>Check out Lori's TpT store (Beginning Teacher Talk):<br /> <a href= "https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Beginning-Teacher-Talk">https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Beginning-Teacher-Talk</a></p> <p>Connect with Lori on Pinterest: <a href= "https://www.pinterest.com/drlorifriesen/">https://www.pinterest.com/drlorifriesen/</a></p> <p>Connect with Lori on Instagram:<br /> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/beginningteachertalk">https://www.instagram.com/beginningteachertalk</a></p> <p>If the Beginning Teacher Talk podcast is helping you in your teaching and if you're feeling extra loving, I would be so grateful if you would leave a positive review for the show!<br /> <br /> Your kind words mean the world to me. <a href
