Working with "Difficult" Parents: How School Counselors Can Promote Positive Outcomes

Ever run across parents that you just cannot seem to figure out? Parents who are quick to blame, won't return calls, or show no follow-up at home? Parents who rarely make an appearance at school?

Or how about the "helicopter" and  "lawnmower parents" that just absolutely insist on paving the easy route for their students, no matter what?

These kinds of parent situations can feel frustrating, for sure, but there are some things you can do to better understand the dynamics of the relationship and facilitate positive outcomes for everyone involved. That's what this episode of the School for School Counselors Podcast is about.
