[QUOTE="klmno, post: 479491, member: 3699"] DF, if this is thru a county/local agency that uses the typical "evidence based" (and that is there term, certainly not mine),I can tell you why. The whole thing is based on the form where the 'therapist' fills in the blanks for weaknesses, strengths, goals, etc. The kids' goals are used as 'carrots' to dangle. If the kid behaves, they take them out and 'help' them reach their goals. Yep, the concept is wonderfule and simple enough for anyone to get. But it's not always realsitic when dealing with our teen difficult children. They use inexperienced people- inexperienced in a well-rounded way, who are just trained to provide this method of behavior mod. They don't focus too much on having realistic goals, in my humble opinion. They leave it up to the parent to tell the kid. And the way I see it, if my son gets himself together enough to have a real chance of going to college, you can bet I'm going to be the one to tour a campus with him. That is a proud moment for a parent and I intend to claim it. LOL! [/QUOTE]
