[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 484536, member: 3930"] Thanks for all the feedback. To answer some questions... No, I don't think difficult child knows about it. I think the therapist is just going to do it. No, we don't fully trust this person yet. difficult child has only met with him 3 times. I met with him alone the first time. I have probably only talked to this man for 90 minutes total. That is not enough time for him to know the situation fully in my opinion. I have read the Ross Greene books (Explosive Child and Lost at School) an my theory is the same as his - identify the lagging skills, identify the unsolved problems, then teach the skills. I did mention to the therapist that they try to teach him certain skills at school and he said - well they are approaching it cognitively - and that is not working. So the alternative to teaching it cognitively is what? Emotionally? I really don't know and should have asked him to explain it. I read some info on the internet about exposure therapy. It seems to mostly be used for anxiety. I think the first step is to identify a list of things that cause you anxiety (or in this case frustration). I don't know - should I meet with the therapist and ask for more information about this? How does my 9 year old son figure out what causes him frustration? Basically it is anytime things don't go his way, he is told no, he thinks something is unfair, something is too hard, etc. You know - classic gfgness. [/QUOTE]
