Episode 70: Have Better Meetings With Upset Parents By Using The 4 S's
Sometimes I think that adults and children aren't all that different.
Kids and adults both crave predictability and support, but we also like to have fun.
Adults want people to listen to us when we talk. Kids do too.
Adults are happiest when we feel safe.
That's true for kids too.
You may have heard of The 4 S's of Secure Attachment, by Daniel Siegel, as explained in his book The Power of Showing Up
Kids want to feel safe, seen, soothed and secure. Adults are not that different. The parents at your school are not that different.
On today's episode of the Private School Leader Podcast, we are going to learn how to Have Better Meetings With Upset Parents By Using The 4 S's.
Being a private school leader is a VERY difficult job. You have to make hundreds of decisions every day, and you have to keep everyone safe, increase enrollment, keep the parents happy, keep the board happy, motivate the teachers, deal with student discipline, beat last year’s test scores and come in under budget.
That can lead to you feeling tired, discouraged and stressed out. I’ve been there. That’s why I created THRIVE Academy just for you.
