What can I do to try to get the parent more on the same page with me?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted October 12, 2017 2:01 am aRaLeg Reps: 200 I think the first step should be a parent-teacher conference with maybe a principal or guidance counselor present. It is important to understand a little bit of the home situation because maybe the student is having some difficulties at home that he or she takes that frustration out during the school day.

Do NOT attack the parent or make them feel like they are incapable, but rather suggest that there are some things they can try at home that will benefit the child, and ultimately probably help the parent in the long run as well. Chances are if they are misbehaving in class, they are at home as well. Perhaps the parent does not know what to do when faced with these problems at home, so suggest some tips and ways to redirect and praise the good behavior so that the child wants to listen and behave. Do not underestimate the power of positive reinforcement! If the problem persists beyond that, perhaps it is the undertones of something more serious, and the school's social worker is always on hand to help handle situations just like this. Sometimes it takes a trained professional!

Maybe you can also send home a classroom behavior management sheet that details your expectations for the children.

However, the parent may not take the conference very seriously, or show up at all, if they truly do not care about the child's misbehavior. This student most likely does not receive much discipline at home, and this is sure to play a role in their behavior at school. Establishing a behavior plan with this child could be effective. Setting up an agreed upon system of rewards for positive behavior, and consequences for negative behavior. Find something that motivates the student to do well. This could be as simple as candy, or something more specific to the students interests, such as allowing them to draw during free time if they earn it for the week.

Next, be the parent to a certain degree! Have a reward system, give them talks, punish them appropriately.

I would have administration present for the meeting and have them explain the longterm effects that the misbehavior can cause for the student.

Then I would try to understand their home life and make a plan for them to be more involved with their student.
