Comments on: The Real “Bucket List” http://www.drbethrobinson.com/2008/07/the-real-bucket-list.html Professional Counselor - Ed.D Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:26:51 -0400 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: SandyWoods http://www.drbethrobinson.com/2008/07/the-real-bucket-list.html/comment-page-1#comment-321 SandyWoods Sun, 25 Jan 2009 02:59:59 +0000 http://www.drbethrobinson.com/?p=80#comment-321 I totally agree with this blog. I guess anyone who works in our field probably would or should. I look at a kid in the toughest of situations and wonder how a parent can mess up a kid sooo bad, a kid they gave birth to, it's mind boggling. And so difficult to convince that child that he is loved by his parent when the parent may be sick from drugs, alcohol, etc. Having been a teacher before a case manager (taking my exams for LPC) I believe it is so important for adults in these kids lives to be supportive and encouraging, especially teachers who have these kids for most of the day. Stick with them and provide positive words of encouragement they may never hear. I may have gotten way off subject lol...but I agree, parents need to grow up and be parents...those that have their kids in the home as well...time to stop being "buddies" and love our kids, guide them in Christ!
