[QUOTE="Josie, post: 182311, member: 1792"] When we had a therapist, I usually went in first to tell what was going on. Then difficult child 1 would go in and then we would all meet together at the end to summarize and agree to the next step. She was a defiant child so I don't see how it would have worked if she had just gone in. She would have said everything was fine. If I went in by myself, I could tell it like it was without having to word everything carefully since difficult child was right there. Also, like you said, it isn't always a good idea for them to hear parenting strategies or if the therapist thinks you could have handled something differently. Sometimes, I even had my own appointment if there was a lot going on. It was listening to me that the therapist realized how bad things really were. My daughter was younger than your son is now, but if she was still defiant, I would want it to be set up the same way. I don't think it would work to have a separate therapist for me to deal with the ODD behaviour. [/QUOTE]
