[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 248286, member: 2459"] Um....wow. And this person went to school for HOW long??? We had a counselor like that. He and difficult child would talk, difficult child would participate, say all the right things and then not follow through with a single thing once we walked out the office door. I wound up firing that counselor. He was a nice guy and he and difficult child got along well but difficult child had him completely snowed. I would start looking now for another psychiatrist if possible. And in the meantime, do a little homework of your own. If there is anyway to find out what homework your difficult child has, keep track. Keep track of what she has, what she tells you regarding her progress on it and what grade she gets (assuming she turns it in.) By doing this, you can accomplish two things. First, you can show psychiatrist that you are "cooperating". (yes, I know about the battles...been there done that here also) But second (and possibly most important), you will be able to prove, assuming history repeats itself, that psychiatrist's miraculous method is worthless and simply getting difficult child to say she'll quit lying about her homework is NOT enough to actually solve the problem. Think of it as a sneaky "neener neener neener" moment to throw at the psychiatrist. Otherwise, I have no advice. Just the fact that I have been there done that and can sympathize. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
