If you had to think of three things that you didn't receive much training on in grad school, but has become a huge part of your job, I'll bet that parent relationships would be on the list.

Working with parents of high school students is not always a walk in the park and it can really take a toll on you. While many parents are super supportive, and view you as a partner, others can be quite the opposite.

You may have experienced angry phone calls, unrealistic demands, or even threats, (speaking from experience here!) that leave you feeling totally defeated. I know it hurts when a parent doesn't recognize that we just want what's best for their child!

So, how do you build positive  relationships with parents, while keeping your focus on your students? You'll hear three of my best tips for navigating parent relationships in today's episode.

Don’t forget to sign up for one of my free live workshops, where you'll learn three practical ideas to bring your high school counseling program back to life in the new year! Learn more, and sign up here.
