I am a private tutor and educational therapist. A mother of one of my students told me (not asked me) that she will be coming to watch my session with her son next week. Because I was caught off guard, I agreed. However, I do not feel as though this arrangement will be productive for me at all because I will be intimidated as will her son. The session will seem contrived and there will not be a natural flow like in our usual sessions. How can I tell the mom she can come in for 15 minutes but then she has to leave? I do not want her sitting in on the whole session because it will make everyone nervous and as though we are performing. How can I be professional and firm - but polite- so she knows where I am coming from and she respects my position. I don't want her to know I feel threatened. Please help! Thanks!
