Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Be it "Pinocchio's Mom," who thinks her child never lies, the "Caped Crusader," who will stop at nothing to have a book eliminated from the curriculum, or the "Helicopter Mom," who hovers and swoops in to protect her child from disappointment, this humorous handbook helps educators deal with impossible parents. Each chapter features a hilarious caricature that illuminates common parent anxieties followed by specific, practical methods for addressing the problem. Easily implemented advice on face-to-face confrontations helps teachers approach each conflict with the confidence to get their point across and the composure to keep their professional principles intact.
Dealing with parents 101 -- A short and subjective history of parents -- The acorn may not fall far from the oak -- Problem parents -- Who's the fairest of them all? -- Tips for effective parent conferences -- When nothing works -- A final assessment.
