[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked with a 5 year old like that once, child had developmental disabilities but the reason why they hadn’t been trained was lack of parent follow through. No other reason than dad worked away from home and mom was too busy playing games on the computer to be bothered. She knew this as she admitted that she was the reason the child hadn’t been trained.

I had to have my supervisees train when we were in the home (so like 3 hours, 5-10 times per week) and after a couple months the mom hopped on board. Not ideal but it worked, much more quickly than I had expected actually.

I’d ask parent if there’s a medical concern and if not then train in school and find a way to teach mom what you did so she can follow through at home. Some parents just need someone to guide them in the right direction or to see that their child is capable of something they didn’t expect them to be capable of.

Are you a social work? Who are "supervisees"? Were you working through this family through child protective services or what?

Did anyone offer assistance to the mom who was apparently numbing via screen use instead of parenting, potentially due to burnout, abuse, PTSD, depression, etc.? The way you talk about this family is strangely detached.[/quote]
