[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 425103, member: 6546"] Marg-- I am a fan of this kind of method...(though I am probably not as good at it as you are! LOL!) So I have been doing a bit of this from the beginning. I've been trying to establish a friendly rapport by calling amd messaging and keeping caseworker in the loop. For example, one of our problems is that difficult child will "miss the bus" and just not come home after school. The when she finally calls or gets dropped off by someone, she has no good explanation as to how she missed the bus, and why she could not call home or where she has been or why it has taken so darn long for her to get home. This has been an ongoing problem for a long time...difficult child just taking off. It was written on the application to the state program. It was discussed during the intake interviews. It has been discussed during all of our meetings. It is on my bulleted list of "concerns" that I gave to everyone involved in our case. AND Since I have caseworker's email and cell number....I have been giving her a call and sending her a message each time this happens. And last time I met with caseworker, I reminded her again that this needs to stop. I'd like to stop difficult child from just taking off. Caseworker gave me a blank look... "She does that?" --sigh-- I may as well be communicating with a potato. [/QUOTE]
