[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 231327, member: 1991"] Good to hear from you. As for counselling, I hear you. But there is counselling, and then there is counselling. Keep an open mind and do some digging for yourself. Find a local support network and make contact. Pick teir brains. There ARE counsellors who would help, and who would be able to work with a 7 year old child. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is good stuff to try, they don't just sit tere and listen while you talk (or don't talk), they actually work with you on developing skills such as learning to reduce your own anxiety with deeb breathing, meditiation/relaxation and so on. They can help a kid with negative self-talk to recognise tis and turn it around, which in turn can really help a kid with poor self-esteem. Or - you could go to the local library, look it up yourself, teach yourself and then try to help your son yourself, because you know him best and you can then recognise what is helping him and what is not. Anyway, it's a thought. Marg [/QUOTE]
