    There are many steps you can take to make it easier. Make sure to keep all documentations organized and available. Make sure your observations are objective, not subjective to prevent confusion. Talk it through with a peer who is working with the same child. Write a script. Know your resources and provide the family with them. Let them know that even though their child may be behind in development in the general sense, that every child grows at a different rate and reaches the same points of development even if they need a little extra help.
