[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 400904, member: 3444"] That's a good point Andy! He could have played that card to get out of there, lol. I know he was listening, even though he kept playing poker on his phone, wouldn't look at us, wouldn't talk to us and had one finger in his ear. When we concluded and therapist turned to difficult child 1 to ask him if he had any questions or wanted to say something, difficult child 1 took a visibly large breath as if he had been listening so intently that he'd forgotten to breathe, hesitated and then said nothing. I had to stifle a giggle because I know he was processing what we said. Yes, this therapist is a keeper. He's the one who helped us navigate the crisis intervention meeting when difficult child 2 got suspended for bringing a Swiss Army knife to school and making a threatening remark to a bully. He revealed he's had to go to the home of one of his teenage patients who has a tendency to shut down in a rage and refuse to leave the house. At least we managed to make it as far as the parking lot! Hopefully things will go better next time. I'm going to try to remember ealier reminders for difficult child 1 so he doesn't feel surprised like this, but this is also something he needs to work on. Thanks everyone! [/QUOTE]
