[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 137041, member: 2423"] What credentials does this therapist have? I'm just asking because your difficult child is very young, and I'm not sure any kid his age would respond positively by having the therapy rules read into his face every week. It really seems as if she was the one to fuel the violence rather than teach him ways to reign it in. I believe your difficult child needs a therapist who will build a relationship with him, first and foremost, and then start to work on the issues that are going on. My easy child/difficult child 3 started weekly therapy at age 7 with a child psychiatrist. The psychiatrist played board games, drew pictures, kicked a nerf ball and did other fun kid activities with my daughter. As they played and my daughter grew to trust the psychiatrist, the psychiatrist gradually started asking questions and my daughter began to open up to her. This has been a very successful therapeutic relationship for almost two years. There are good therapists, and there are bad therapists. If you're going the therapeutic route, you really need to find one who has the skills and knowledge to be able to reach your son. [/QUOTE]
