COPING WITH TOXIC PARENTS is a survival guide for teachers. Simple, effective strategies for becoming more assertive in the presence of those who seek to verbally abuse and bully you.

LET'S FACE IT, SOME PARENTS ARE HARMFUL TO OUR HEALTH!

You don't exist on this earth to be someone's personal garbage dump. -- M. Moore

Hi fellow educators, and thanks for your interest in becoming more assertive. My eBook COPING WITH TOXIC PARENTS was written in response to the expressed needs of teachers just like YOU.

Every time I give a presentation to teachers I get asked the same question: "How can I become more assertive with those parents, other teachers and principals who are making my life miserable?"

I know these strategies work because they worked for me. Early in my teaching career I was a teacher who always wanted to please and co-operate with parents, principals and fellow teachers. As a result I was used and verbally abused by people inside and outside education. I wanted it to stop so I researched the topic of assertiveness thoroughly and applied what I learned to my own life. The results of my research are in my eBook. NO LONGER do I have trouble saying no or expressing an opposing opinion or CHALLENGING OTHERS WHEN THEY TRY TO PUT ME DOWN OR TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME!

Remember co-operation is great. Manipulation isn't. The nice thing about it is that YOU can assert yourself without losing friends on staff or the respect of the parents you serve. IT'S ALL IN HOW YOU DO IT. My strategies work so well that now I am invited to give talks and seminars on the subject to teachers all over North America.
