Communicate well
Letting parents know when and how you’ll be in
touch regarding a child’s progress is the first step
in preventing issues from arising. When there is a
vacuum in communication, the overparenting
family will rush right in with questions and
expectations.
Set boundaries
When you begin to suspect a parent will be
expecting daily or even hourly communication on
a child’s progress, it’s essential to o�er clear
parameters for when you’ll respond. Some
teachers make the mistake of supplying their
cellphone number to parents to make
communication easier.
