A good way to start would be to make and document observations. Then go over how to dress the parent with a coworker and make sure that you are sensitive and can back up your information and observations with knowledge not just opinion. It is good to have resources on hand. That way you aren’t just pointing out that the child needs help- you are giving the parent resources on how they can get their child the help they need to be successful and to overcome the difficulties they may be experiencing
