Not sure. I try to work with families and kids I feel are a good fit, so if it is apparent that one is not I won't work with them.
Kids say a lot of things, maybe from movies, hearing an adult friend etc, if I heard 'shoot me with a gun' referring to a parent I wouldn't be too alarmed without investigation. I have patted my daughters head before and had her yell' don't hit me!!!'
. So you never know. From your description I didn't see you saying the child was violent, just made the verbal reference. While it is something to be aware of, much different that physically violent behavior. Can you talk to the mom? Being delayed developmentally imo is not a reason to term...maybe give it the 2 weeks and see what happens.
Not sure what he is saying, but I do think if 'street language' was a regular occurance that would bother me. Wouldn't want my kids picking it up either.
