[QUOTE="Japes, post: 2269982, member: 277410"] Morning all! Just waiting for the school not quite rush but more steady trickle in a socially distancing staggering kind of way to finish going past my house, then off for a walk and some errand-y bits and pieces at the best local shop before I meander back. I think what's been utterly fascinating about these video calls has been seeing our predictions about how they and their families would be coping. We've had a couple of complete surprises, the one who we thought would have family cracking the whip with all home learning being completed way ahead of time then demanding more hasn't even done one task since being home, the one who's parents we thought wouldn't bother have been totally engaged (and we have a sneaky feeling have been really enjoying it) and getting another way of seeing how some interact with parents has been most illuminating! Others have been much as predicted. We also concluded YV is just being totally true to self with us in a way that had not been evident in previous years, after parental feedback, who concluded much the same! I'd been trying to say YV needed to learn to interact well with other adults on an adult a level as is possible, and that we're happy enforcing appropriate boundaries as needed, but that they won't be the same approach as when YV was, say, 13 or so (and, I gather, very difficult to handle). Parents have now seen that in action and are agreeing we've got the right approach for a transitioning to adulthood YV! Hooray and phew! [/QUOTE]
