MB said she had no idea where it came from and said she would talk to Larla, I replied that it is ok and kids say all kinds of things but it would be good if Larla agreed to doublecheck problems if I asked her to.
I feel a bit better now that I have sort of called her out on her judgements!
You handled that perfectly! You brought to the mom’s attention that, hello, you can’t even do part of your job now because the kid doesnt trust that you know what you’re doing. Not like her almighty doctor mother.
You also stayed calm and collected while she denied the truth, the very obvious truth. I’m sure that wasn’t easy. I’d love to have updates on this if you have time, Op. Good luck!
