Leading a conversation can be done in various ways. Only one will do the right job, but many others are just causing additional troubles and won’t lead anywhere near your meeting goal.

Don’t give parents a chance to play you that only creates a bad outcome, even if they are not aware of doing exactly that. Also, learn about a very helpful concept that involves treating parents with the utmost respect even if you don’t agree with what they are doing or saying at all.
