WHAT IF PARENT SUGGESTS ABUSIVE STRATEGIES?
These strategies will usually be rejected as an option by the subgroup in which the parent is a member. If the strategy is accepted by the subgroup or you believe that parents may consider the strategy as a viable alternative, you should summarize the suggestion to the larger group (without identifying the parent suggesting), ask the group to consider the risks or negative consequences of the strategy, summarize the group’s conclusions, add risks or consequences which participants have not suggested, and conclude with a statement advising parents not to use the strategy.
