  Case: Which parent wins?
I have a student who's parents fight over who gets to pick up the child. The child never knows who to go with because they make him feel bad. Who do I let the child go with? And how can I make this stop?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a talk with both letting them now that there fighting effect there child and makes him uncomfortable because all the other student see whats going on. They need to work as a team and not fight in front of child and in front of the students.

Comments: I think the parents are maybe unaware of how much pressure they are putting on their child, so calling them both in separately to talk about how we can fix this together would be best.

Comments: Although I would want to do the same thing, I find this solution to be a little more towards the bad side because it could lead to bigger problems. The parents may feel that you are stepping over the personal boundaries.

Comments: I'm not sure that approaching the parents like this is appropriate, especially because you only know what is happening in the child's eyes. You probably want to get a guidance counselor involved so the child can talk about the way it is affecting them in a different environment

Comments: This would put the teacher in a stance that they do not have any authority in. Instead A social worker or counselor would be best suited to talk with the parents.

Comments: Talking to both parents is a great first step, but if they are still not able to work it out amongst themselves police might have to get involved. That type of behavior should not be shown at school around their child or any other child.
