No upset parents at all. When they sign their contract and find out that I do this, they are generally suprised as its not expected for me to do this. It's as though they think I am going above and beyond as its a rarety that providers do this.(obviously because providers don't know that these resources are available.) They are extremely thankful, even the parents who don't seem like they give two hoots. It really skips a lot of stress on my part, worrying how I would word things to people and what their reactions would be. Some parents will then talk more in depth and press me for more information and thats great while others don't say much. I send a copy home with them and keep a copy on file. I then email or send letters home from time to time with regards to "areas needing attention", so they know I haven't forgotten what came up and to let them know that I am working on them with their child and whether or not progress is being made. If the parents aren't enthusiastic about working with me then I just stay focused on the child and give them 100%.
