[quote=Anonymous]I have found it effective to ask the parent, "Where do you see Johnny in ten years?" to draw out the idea that if he doesn't get help now, he won't be able to support himself or go to college. You can say, "What is your plan for how Johnny is going to take care of himself once you are gone?" (phrase that a little more nicely!). They need to realize that the status quo is not working. You can ask what progress they see he is making and how the teacher says he compares to peers, just to get the conversation going. Then let it sit for a while and revisit it. Take Johnny out alone if you can and point out social rules. "That man is waiting for us to finish at the cashier so we don't feel rushed. He is standing quietly so others are not distracted." They don't know the rules or the reasons, so point them out. Good luck. [/quote]
