[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 277475, member: 1514"] I think you have a good parole officer there. It sounds like difficult child is adapting well to his placement. Many kids do well in these types of settings. Stepping down into a group home may be a good idea. It would give him a little more freedom while still having some limits and controls on him. Cory was in several group homes. Some good, some not so good. My low down on group homes is that they have 24 hour supervision with rotating staff and the kids live in bedroom with 2 to 3 in a room. They have daily chores to help around the house with things like they would do at home such as laundry, cleaning, cooking, dishes. Some do yard work...some places dont. They usually go to school in the community. Staff transports to doctors and mental health. They normally have fairly open visitation but some do have stricter visitation days. (I didnt like those) Most work on a point system for behavior mod. Kids earn rewards like tv time and game time. [/QUOTE]
