Dealing with DIFFICULT Parents | For Teachers

[@bdorsett8991]

Thank you so much for this advice today was the worst day I’ve ever had with a parent as a teacher. 😢❤

You're saying the absolutely right thing to make this situation smooth.💕

When working at the daycare center in the infant room. One parent so upset. She was talking to me before the kids came in. Her three month old baby was sick with a bad cold and wasn’t drinking all of his bottles. This baby was her second child. I was explaining to her that when babies are sick with a cold and stuffy nose. It is hard for them to drink their bottles fully because they might not be feeling well and it is hard for them to drink and breathe at the same time. Although the daycare center had security, cameras in all of the rooms hooked up to the office. I did not feel that this was going to escalate as it did. She was so upset with me. She was standing super close to me and shaking her finger in my face. I had to back up. She finally left. I asked the assistant Director when she was telling me that she saw this on the video. why she didn’t come into help out. She really didn’t give me a good answer.

Any other parents watching this to see if they would be classed as a tricky parent? 🤣

[@LittleLearnersVideos]

Haha! I hope you were pleased with what you found 😂

[@whencesleepfairy]

My class has a lot!

Yes. Apparently I am one. Too sensitive to rude insensitive teachers. Teachers that act nice in front of parents and not so nice with the kids. Teachers that don't realise how important it is for our children to feel safe and supported by good wholesome teachers with integrity and joyful passion. Too many sneaky teachers not being good at all. One even got caught recording the children in class and the school did nothing. They palm off all their bad behaviours as misunderstandings and gaslight my child as if he's got it all wrong. But it's been seen. They are all in cahoots and backing each other up. So what can we do? Get called difficult for trying to say something...?

I'm adding this to my status right away cuz I had a parent who slammed the phone on my face while talking to me and wouldn't pick up how much ever I called. This video is a great way to show them what I feel.

I taught computers in grades 3 to 8 (in United States) for a private school. All of my parents meetings went well. I only had to involve the principal once - she served as a language translator between the child's grandparents (native Spanish speakers) and myself (United States English and a limited amount of Spanish). The child was being raised by the grandparents (I don't recall the reason) and the child was not available to translate so I used the principal - the meeting went well as a result. Never the less I am glad you made the video to provide help to teachers so they don't have to through what you did.

So how about my disabled child having Dr notes with extra needs for example food restrictions that cause painful IBS and they give him everything he can't have to come home crying in pain and end up rushing to the hospital after a meeting with the entire staff so they knew and I prepared a list. That's lack of care and seeing my son is crying I'm gonna flip and demand meetings. He's non verbal and depend on these adults. And that's only one thing. I have a huge list and the district does nothing and it's sick.

@3:23 - I've run into that alot in doing disability advocacy work. For a parent to accept that their child needs specific supports becuase of neurodevelopemental or intellectual developemental issues (or any for that matter) is a difficult road.

I m asking something hoping u would reply. Once I tried to ask my kid's teacher her first name n I think she felt bad. She thought why I m so interested. Is it really awkward as in England everybody calls teachers by there surname n teachers called parents mum. It sounds bit weird for me becoz in india we call each other mam or sometimes by their name. I know it might be becoz of difference in culture. In india girls usually don't like to drop their first name. Miss or Mrs. Shows ur marital status n surname belong to husband or father then where we r. One more thing m I a tricky parents becoz of this. I don't ask too many questions like others do never make fuss about anything.

[@LittleLearnersVideos]

Hi! That would definitely not make you a tricky parent! I have had many parents ask me my first name because of either cultural differences (in their home country they didn't use surnames for teachers) or just because it made them feel a bit weird to call me 'Miss' when they weren't in front of any children. Different schools will have different policies on this. A couple parents did call me by my first name but I asked that they only do it when there were no children around. However, some teachers may not want parents to use their first name, which is okay too. It's not a problem that you asked :)

[@meyounature4975]

Thanks a lot I m feeling relaxed now that I haven't committed a crime.
