I feel like setting up contracts could be effective, but I wonder if the parents would actually follow through with it.

This question reminds me of a practice scenario where we had to decide between direct intervention and referral. I think option B might be the safest choice.

I remember we discussed how behavior analysts should focus on observable behaviors, but I'm not sure if counseling falls under our scope.
