• deal with challenging situations when the teacher is difficult or the teacher is in the wrong,
• ensure your teachers feel supported by you when they’re dealing with difficult parents, and
• help teachers become more confident and empowered in challenging situations.

With these practical books, you’ll be able to get parents on your side so they can become a positive force in your school’s success.
