Recent studies have shown that teachers of children with behavioral challenges often identify problems in the home to be the cause; more specifically, mothers are often thought to be responsible for their child’s emotional and social difficulties (Broomhead, 2013). References to “dysfunctional family,” “ineffective parenting,” or a “lack of discipline” are used frequently in reference to families. Not surprisingly, parents often state they feel that professionals blame them for their child’s behavior. Therefore, communication between the two parties can become strained if one party feels blamed by the other.
