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!)
This sounds like a situation in which you need to involve the school's social worker. If the parents are causing their student this much stress and bad feelings, the school needs to potentially intervene. I would sit down with the social worker and just ask what can be done about the situation. Then, I would set up a parent-teacher conference and discuss the effects this is having on their child as they may not be aware of any negative effects. |

Comments: I don't believe this situation requires the involvement of the social worker. That approach is too extreme for the situation. The parent(s)-teacher conference focused on discussing the problem is more reasonable. |

Comments: The solution is good because it allows another adult to become part of the equation and also gets rid of the issue of legal matters within a split child relationship |

Comments: I agree, I don't agree that teachers should get involved at this level to meddle in the personal business of the parents, as there are resources for that as you pointed out..."social workers". |

Comments: Bringing in the school social worker would be helpful after you have already spoken with both parents and they were still not able to work anything out as adults. As adults it is our responsibility to our children to not show that type of behavior and be mature. |
