[QUOTE="klmno, post: 259645, member: 3699"] review The Explosive Child, take a break from therapist, ask around for someone who does play therapy- those are my suggestions. If he's on medications, maybe review them with psychiatrist. Sometimes lightening up on my son went a long way. Other times it made things worse- you need to follow your mommy heart, but if you are leaving therapy with both of you feeling worse and things are not getting better, it's time for a change. In our situation, when my son first started with a therapist for intensive therapy, things got drasticly worse the loonger we tried this. I stopped the therapist and started spending the time with my son just doing things like taking a walk at the park or playing a game or going to get a bit to eat and stressing that we didn't have to talk, I would not lecture him or question him, but if he wanted to talk to me, he could. Our relationship really improved after that, and subsequently, his behavior did. I don't know what went wrong after that, but things were great for about 6-9 mos. My point being, though, that if therapist isn't helping, drop it. [/QUOTE]
