This is politically correct world that we live in, especially on the social services side of the job. But what does that limit? Being honest and forthcoming is something that we demand of our probationers, so what about us? Does sugar coating things really help? Sure. It does. But, as with all things, it must be balanced. Accountability, regardless of the age of your client population, is a keystone of rehabilitation. You have to be able to communicate exactly what it is that is or isn't happening, how it needs to be corrected and do it without someone getting all butt hurt.
But isn't that really a factor of life as we know it in the government and corporate worlds? If you speak you mind in a manner that the bosses don't like, they will find a way to pay you back. Oops, I meant, hold you accountable. So, who determines what is offensively honest? That is the $10,000 question...
Stay safe - both in the field and in the world of political correctness!!
