[QUOTE="ShakinThingzUp, post: 104471, member: 4250"] Hello Star... Thanks for your input as well. 1 - He is seeing a psychologist (I call her counselor because its much easier), and she is doing "cognitive behavioral therapy" - I was very particular about locating a counselor to work with him & refused to see just any........ got recommendations from pediatricians, etc. My daughter has Reactive Attachment Disorder & I've been down the road of wrong diagnosis & not receiving the proper counseling & help. Hunter has seen a psychiatrist, pediatrician & psychologist. He's also been tested by a neurologist. 2 - Hunter CHOSE band class when the school asked what he wanted to do - had nothing to do with me........ I wasn't trying to randomly put him in things to find what he was good at. He also chose Taekwondo and WAS really good at it, did learn self esteem from it, and was harmed farther by being removed from it when we moved - it was the one reason I considered staying - the ONLY reason... I really miss what that program did for my kids. Hunter did much better while in it. I believe art may help him because we already KNOW he's good at it......... the positive reinforcement of doing something we all know he's good at is obviously a good thing, especially if he enjoys it. I'm not out looking for a multitude of things for him to try.... I don't have the time or the energy to put him into everything - band is at school, scouting is something he's done since he was 6.......... if I add art, it will be because it's convenient and because HE wants to do it. 3 - I have done what I can to provide him with the doctor to help & the IEP and the school already...... I put those in place FIRST! Now, I am just looking to find what I can do myself, in addition to all those things, that may aid him in healing. God Bless! Amy [/QUOTE]
