[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 399365, member: 1233"] My son spent YEARS with various therapists and it had NO effect on his adhd symptoms or many of his other problems. Some of them he liked and would speak with, others he didn't and wouldn't. Usually as soon as it was suggested that he owned some responsibility for his actions and the results he decided he "hated" the therapist or the therapist "didn't get it" and he would do all he could to get us to switch tdocs (rarely worked). At no point did talking with a therapist have ANY impact on his hyperness or the destruction that happened during his hyperness. I have yet to find a therapist who felt that a six or seven year old was "old enough" to really participate in talk therapy. I have found play therapy (used during those years) to be exactly worthless. I hope you get better results, but I don't know of anyone who found it helpful for the kids. It is more helpful for the parent to talk andlearn new ways to cope, in my opinion. If you haven't read/used Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood and Love and Logic Parenting, I highly recommend them. [/QUOTE]
