  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 would explain to her that her work has been greatly appreciated but she needs to know her boundaries.

Comments: Yes, this is a good solution because it is very "matter of fact" and straight to the point. I would do this as well!
