[QUOTE="Jena, post: 427065, member: 4514"] lol soo true shari. when i used to work in that in home crisis team, we were like 3 steps up from mst. the dad's alot of times would do exactly that drop the ball. other times they would be at work and claim that as their excuse why they didnt' follow through on the "plan". what the protocol thing used to be was the mst, or in our case the waiver case manager would call a mtg. with both parents and not the kid. redefine the roles and really talk to the dad in a way that didnt' seem like everyone was ganging up on him. Yet in a way that stated how incredibly important his role was in the changing of the behavior of the kid. they basically stroked his male ego, and honestly it had results. It always happened this way the first time out, whereas most times the dad would drop the ball and the mom would be the brunt or heavy. yet once that mtg. occured things fell into place. Than after parents and worker were on the same page they would bring the kid in. do they have an emergency number to call to help de escalate the kid in case situations happen at home and the worker can't be contacted? we had that, it helped a little because the difficult child knew that others were holding her/him accountable for the actions not just the parents. hope today after school goes well for you [/QUOTE]
