[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 486722, member: 3419"] If he asked for it, go for it! That's way more than most of our kids do! It took us weeks for difficult child to bond with-Dr. R. difficult child sat on the couch with-husband and hid his head under husband's armpit, cuddled, wiggled, did anything except participate in the discussion. Sometimes, he still "opts out," either by pulling a typical teen and sitting in the car, or steaming and stewing in the chair right across from Dr. R and not saying anything. Or in the case of this week, argue with-absolutely everything. Still, after all these yrs, I know for a fact that it has helped. Dr. R is trained to phrase things a certain way, and to bring the conversation back to where it belongs. He doesn't take things personally (that I know of) when it comes to difficult child. And he can say the exact same things that husband and I say, but because he is a dr, he is an authority figure and what he says usually holds a lot more weight with-difficult child. [/QUOTE]
