How do you deal with high-maintenance parents who never seem happy with the job you are doing?

Emotionally charged, often disgruntled, and occasionally abusive parents--sound familiar? The second edition of Elaine McEwan's bestselling classic will help you manage your most difficult audience, adding several new features and examples that will give you the confidence and skills you need to handle such situations, including:

Over two dozen strategies-enhanced and updated-to defuse emotionally charged parents
An updated, easy-to-administer Healthy School Checklist to determine if your school's culture encourages parents or pushes them over the edge
Fifty Ways to build parental support for your school
Ten Goals-at-a-Glance to help keep your school-community relations on target
A built-in facilitator guide--ideal for book groups and staff development, including energizers, suggestions for role-playing, think-alouds, and questions for reflection and discussion

Every educator will find invaluable strategies for handling angry and unresponsive parents and the critical issues that cause misunderstandings. Following McEwan's seven steps of effective problem-solving will help with quick solutions while creating a nurturing, healthy school environment. And in today's schools and a NCLB environment, developing a supportive parent-community relationship is essential to everyone's success.

Industry Reviews

"This book has great potential for helping administrators not only work with parents who may have a particular problem, but also create school environments that enhance general parent-teacher-school relations. The many specific suggestions pointing to positive solutions is a major strength, and the facilitator guide is an excellent addition." -- Gwen Rudney, Coordinator of Elementary Education "Offers insight into why parents become upset, followed by strategies to defuse their anger and build their support." -- Curriculum Connections, Spring 2006
