[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 551619, member: 3930"] Thank you both for the input. I agree with not pulling in any religious resources. Although my little one really seemed to love his experience and exposure to religion at his previous preschool. My difficult child also went to a different Lutheran preschool and he HATED IT! All of it. We have not have good luck with psychiatrists and tdocs. We had the original psychologist who diagnosis'd him - he offered no therapy just a repeated explanation of what ADHD is (which I had already read the topic to death). Then he had a psychiatrist who did nothing but prescribe medications but didn't really want to go over my previous medication charts or really even consider that a stimulant might not be what he needs and maybe something more than ADHD and ODD is going on. He saw a therapist at that office who just wanted to talk about the amygdala and fight or flight response to stress (was not geared toward children at all). Then we found a new therapist who he got along so well with that the therapist basically told me you don't need to bring him so often. In other words they got along great and he didn't understand what he was coming there for. Well yeah, if everything is going fine there is no problem. It's when you want him to do something he doesn't want to do. Or to stop doing something he doesn't want to stop doing. Or when he is bored. So I don't know if I should contact the last therapist or not. What do you think? He saw him for about 8 months and then stopped over the summer. [/QUOTE]
