What will be an ideal response?


Child: Shows sudden changes in behavior or school performance; has not received help for physical or medical problems brought to the parents’ attention; has learning problems (or difficulty concentrating) that cannot be attributed to specific physical or psychological causes; is always watchful, as though preparing for something bad to happen; and so on. Parent: Denies the existence of—or blames the child for—the child’s problems in school or at home; asks teachers or other caregivers to use harsh physical discipline if the child misbehaves; sees the child as entirely bad, worthless, or burdensome; demands a level of physical or academic performance the child cannot achieve, and so on. Parent-Child: Rarely touches or looks at each other; considers the relationship to be entirely negative; states they do not like each other.
