  Case: Parental Intimidation
I was in a situation last semester were I was an intern with my CT and one of the parents who's family conference I sat through frightened me. He was a very tall, very muscular man covered with tattoos and spoke very gruffly to my CT. She seemed to handle it well, but the man frightened me terribly. I could not imagine having to have done that on my own. Any suggestions how to get over such a silly fear? Or tips to calm myself when I'm feeling frightened by a parent?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
We meet as a "team" when we have a parent conference. One thing I have found helpful is to has a "non-school" conversation while I escort the parent to the classroom. This allows me to gauge the parents actions. This also helps calm me down if I have any worries about the parent! Try talking about stuff outside of school.
