  Case: Nieve Parent
I have a parent who believes everything her child comes home and tells her. Most of the time he is not being honest. The parent has approached me with a lot of issues that do not exist in my classroom. I let her know that but she still continues to believe her child. He has been caught in lies a number of time but she still continues to try to address the things he tells her. What should I do to let her see that her child his not being honest?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Make sure that you document everything that you can on your end. Also, if there is an administrator or counselor that could help you speak with the parent about the things are going on, it might help the parent see the truth. You may want to ask an administrator or counselor to drop by your room periodically so that they can tell the parent what they have observed as well.
