[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I am a trained professional nanny. What parents often report to the professionals, is not exactly what is happening in the home. Until you are an eye-witness, you can not assume you are getting factual data. You're getting second-hand information, heavily tainted with the exasperation of stress-out parents.

In my decades of experience, these are typically very disfunctional family systems. The fallout gets dumped on the child who is least able to cope.[/quote]

that's why we had our therapist evaluate behavior at home and at school (we also provided videos of home situations where we witnessed confusing behavior) and our preschool director was a member of the team as well. None of them had answers, and they all tried very hard. We hoped that we would discover that it was in fact "our fault" because then at least that was something we could fix, presumably.  [/quote]
Is direct professional observation in the home, the norm? I didn't think so.[/quote]
