In this Professional Development session, Susan Elliott shares how teachers can best work through difficult interactions with parents who are dysregulated. Emotional dysregulation is defined as the inability to control or regulate one’s emotional responses, which can lead to significant changes in mood. It can involve many emotions including sadness, anger, irritability, and frustration.
Elliott explains that teachers commonly encounter dysregulated parents with behaviors that fit into one of four categories: emotional parents, driven parents, passive parents, and rejecting parents. While you cannot change how a parent responds, you can change your expectations and approach. She shares useful scripts and strategies that teachers can use to navigate challenging conversations with parents.
