[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 425110, member: 393"] DF, every time there is a meeting here at the house I make up a pot of coffee, have bagels or make some muffins. The meeting begins with a bit of a chat about mental health case manager's young son. Risk management SW lets me know how her mum is doing & the CADI manager asks me advice on various canes & walkers because her father needs these items. Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) manager inquires about my golf & share how his season is going. It's all very friendly. Then begins the discussion of kt &/or wm & their antics/updates. Inside I'm begging for suggestions or interventions for this or that for the tweedles yet I find that I can wait as I'm truly interested/care about our mental health care team. When the meeting actually begins it's in earnest & everyone around the table is listening & taking my concerns very seriously. Not one has mentioned a behavior chart. The goals are goals for life skills. The expectations that wm will not hurt someone or that kt will not run is just that ~ an expectation. And we come up with valid, appropriate consequences if those common sense expectations are not followed. You're in the beginning stages of dealing with your "team". It's a teaching process - I've trained each & every one of the staff on my team over the years & I know that I'm respected because of the time I take to educate. Mental health case manager has called me for suggestions for his son's IEP. He's not trained specifically for that piece - I've taught myself & in turn, the members of my team. I know you're worried & want your team to stop the silliness & get on with it. I did as well. I learned that it doesn't work that way & even if it did the tweedles weren't going to change over night just because we had staff here to work with them. So, my dear friend, it's time to learn patience, detach & hone your sense of humor. Nothing will change over night; not your team or your difficult child. Take care of you. [/QUOTE]
