[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 230874, member: 3419"] Hi Swabbie, We learned, the hard way, that putting our son in his room for Time Out for more than a day won't work. He just doesn't "get it." Sure, he's not going to have any long-term repercussions from so many days home, but I have plenty of guilt. :( :) We had to strip our son's rm several times. Luckily, as he matures, it is becoming less and less necessary. Still, he only has a clock on the wall, and paper posters. I have repaired the clock once, from one of his rages, but only because I hand painted it and I'm a wuss. :) Every thing else--book shelves, snowglobe collections, etc.--have been removed. This past summer, we put up a wire rack next to the wall, and it holds all of his baseball stuff. For some reason, he never touches it when he rages. Sounds like you won't miss anything if you switch therapists. You know the old saying, if you keep doing something the same way you've been doing it, you're going to get the same results. And you're getting no results. Our therapist has actually read our difficult child the riot act and it works very well. For some reason, he can say the same things to difficult child that we do, but difficult child listens to him because he's an authority figure. You cannot go to a therapist who lets you pull the wool over their eyes. It is not helping your child at all. Our difficult child will answer, "I don't know," and the dr will say, "I don't know isn't an answer. Sit up straight. I need an answer." :) :) :) Good luck! P.S. Our son hoards, too. I have no idea why. His room is gross. I use cleaning it as leverage if he wants to play at a friend's house. You should see how fast he can clean now! [/QUOTE]
