[QUOTE="klmno, post: 429232, member: 3699"] in my humble opinion and based solely on my limited experience, MST is great in theory but stupid in reality. I was hoping that some MST tdocs were actually doing a lot more and really "got" the problems we parents of difficult child are dealing with. I might have reconsidered trying it with difficult child in this new town if that was so. But more and more, I seem only to find confirmation that these tdocs don't get it at all. It's almost like they are trying to implement Ross Greene's approach yet they can't relate enough to get it right so it ends up either giving into the kid, sending a sense of entitlement to them, and thus making the kid worse, or ultimatley saying "oh, this lead to violence when you confronted the issue- then call the police". And they apparently never figure out (or admit) that this is the point we were at as a family before the MST even entered the picture. KOI- I don't need a PO or therapist to tell me to call the cops. I'm trying to figure what to do to prevent needing to- without covering for my kid or letting him rule the house. I can see where MST might be able to help a family that has no clue how to provide structure in a home and a child has grown up with no routine, adult oversight to speak of, etc, but parents here on this board are generally not that way. We have already tried that- so what else is out there? Why do we keep having to "prove" to person after pserson that "this" particular method just doesn't work with my kid? [/QUOTE]
