[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I volunteer at my DDs' school regularly.  I have indeed called a number of kids out, a number of times, for a number of inappropriate behaviors.  I don't recall any of the times relating specifically to my kids, but more a general behavior problem or towards another child.  (But, if the misbehavior was directed to my child, I would do the same as I would for any child in my care.)

Unless the volunteer was regularly "picking on" my child--  I would just be grateful that the school has parents willing to volunteer.

I had a situation this past year where a coach went off completely on my 10 year old daughter.  (She was wrong, but he way over-reacted to her infraction.)  I got EXTREMELY angry--  at her!!!  I reminded her this person was volunteering for HER benefit and she better repair the relationship ASAP.  I told her I would go with her when she apologized (or not-- her choice).  It was actually one of my proudest parenting moments ever.  By the end of the season, the coach was praising my daughter's leadership skills etc.  Needless-to-say, my daughter was brimming with pride, true self-confidence etc.  This is why my kids will be head-and-shoulders over the whiners/helicopter/apologist parents like OP.

+10000 We need more reasonable parents like you. None of our kids are complete angels and they need to learn there are consequences for their behaviors. This will only benefit them as they grow into adults. [/quote]
