A school-based social worker is meeting with a student's family for the first time. During the meeting, the family declines to share details about their home situation and addresses all responses to the eldest person in the room rather than to the worker directly. The family gives brief answers and waits for the eldest member to nod before responding to any questions. Which two statements reflect culturally responsive interpretation of this situation?
☐ The family's brief answers and deference to the eldest member suggest they may be hiding information relevant to the student's situation.
☐ The family's behavior likely reflects cultural norms around authority and respectful communication rather than disengagement.
☐ The worker should reschedule the meeting with only the student's parents present to get more direct answers.
☐ The worker should direct key questions toward the eldest family member and allow time for group consultation.
☐ The family's reluctance to share information indicates low motivation to engage with school services.
