I tend to do that too, but I wonder if we're shooting ourselves in the foot because then the parents think things are going great when they really aren't.
The two week thing is a good idea, but I'd still start easing her more of the whole truth before you say anything about a two week probation. Based on what you've told her up until now she thinks everything is hunky dory so a probation will blindside her as much as a termination would.
