[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 369074, member: 1514"] I dont think I explained myself well. My son was in therapy from age 4 till age 17. As Slsh said, we dont have the poster boys for therapy...lol. Cory started in this program called Childrens Day Treatment where he went everyday for 3 hours a day and interacted with about 6 other kids and 4 therapists and 2 psychiatrists and I was brought in 2 days a week I think to watch this interaction behind a 2 way mirror. It was a combination of play therapy, 1:1 therapy, group therapy and damned if I know what. He was in this from 4 to age 7. At 8 he started individual therapy and family therapy. The individual was more of a play type where the therapist roll modeled behavior with him. We (his parents and brothers) met with the therapist at least monthly for brothers and weekly for me. I lived for my sessions...lol. This went on until he turned 11 and he left for wilderness camp. Therapist facilitated that. Now to the present. My therapist also does kids. I have been a bit astounded that I have had to steer her to some of the books from here. There are many times when I suggest ways to deal with a kid she is having problems with. Now she never gives me confidential details about the kid but the "7 year old, doing xxx, dont know what we can do." and I will suggest what I think is the best ideas I have. Many times she is very thankful for advice I have gleaned from here. I would send her here but I dont like the way we talk about therapists on a whole. [/QUOTE]
