During a parent meeting, Deborah is surprised when the parents of a child become defensive. The child, Devon, is a high achiever but disruptive during class, and Deborah felt that she was careful to stress the positive as well as the negative about Devon's behavior. What advice would be best to give Deborah regarding her next meeting with the parents?

a. Invite them to join school activities. The parents will then see Devon's behavior first-hand and can help to address it.
b. Advise the parents about resources that may help Devon learn to behave better in class. The parents may need to be reminded that a teacher is a good resource for them.
c. Be careful not to place blame. The parents may see Devon's disruptive behavior as normal, or they may see it as suggestive that they are not good parents.
d. Talk to the parents about how they punish Devon when she misbehaves. The parents may not be using the best parenting strategies to address this type of behavior.
