Case: Overbearing parent
What do you do when a parent volunteers to help with a lot, which you happily accept, but then they become a little overbearing? I worked with a parent that was willing to help with anything the teachers needed, but once they felt comfortable around the teachers she started overstepping her boundaries. She would give her daughter permission to do things in the classroom that were against the rules but I felt uncomfortable confronting the mom about it. She was so helpful in so many areas that I let the little things slide, but the situation started increasing (snowball effect).
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think it would be beneficial to have that conversation with the parent because it shows favoritism with the student, once one student does it the other students may want to join in, and because it is not in the parent's place to tell the student how to behave (in a negative way) within your classroom. I would consider having it in a formal setting that way the parent understands the role as teacher and parent. |

| Comments: I like your solution because you mention doing it in a calm and private place, and that you want to lay it all out in the open that you are the teacher and she is the parent. |

| Comments: Having it in a formal setting sounds like it could make the parent uncomfortable. If they don't realize they are overstepping, a gentle reminder in the classroom while the event is going on seems like it could solve the problem. If not, then I would try speaking with her privately. |

| Comments: I agree with this! This parent is clearly allowing favoritism to be showed, and this can cause much harm for the teacher. Having a conversation with the parent, respectfully, is the best way to help them to understand that this is harmful behavior. |
