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).

Hi LeWuVy,
I would conference with the parent to let them know how important it is to consistently implement classroom rules and procedures. Perhaps you have assumed they have observed the classroom enough to pick up on these rules/procedures but have never explicitly stated them to the parent. During the conference, I would start by making sure the parent knows how much you appreciate their help. I would tell them that you tweaked the classroom rules/procedures a bit lately and that you would like them to look over it. Explain that, as another authority figure in the classroom, you wanted to make sure you both are on the same page so that these aspects of the classroom can be implemented consistently among all students. Explain that you would really appreciate their help in this area. Give them a take home sheet they can look over to reinforce what you are saying.

| Comments: I agree. It is possible that the parent doesn't know the rules. Setting boundaries is always a must, but do so in a respectful manner. |

| Comments: I agree with this solution! Reminding the parent/volunteer the importance of implementing rules and procedures will hopefully allow them to see the harm they are doing to not only the teacher, but their child in the long run as well! |
