Episode 99: Do You Want Happier Parents? STOP Doing These 4 Things
I want to ask you a question.
Are the parents at your school happy?
I can hear what you are thinking: “It depends on which parent, the time of day, depends on if report cards just came out, if their kid is getting enough playing time on the soccer team, etc., etc.”
So, let me ask you an easier question. Do you want happier parents?
Of course you do!
On today’s episode of the Private School Leader Podcast, I am going to tell you how you can have happier parents at your school. You just have to stop doing 4 things.
Thank you for listening to the podcast every week. You are making a difference in the lives of the students, teachers and parents at your school. I know that what you do is difficult, exhausting and lonely. Your hard work inspires me to keep making weekly content to try to encourage and inspire you as you serve your school.
Thanks for all you do!
