[QUOTE="witzend, post: 18603, member: 99"] I've been having trouble logging in, so I have been lurking a bit. I don't think it could do any harm for you to send in an application tape. That being said, you don't have a profile of diagnosis's listed, so it's hard to know what's going on with your difficult child. As the parent of a couple of older difficult children, and as a semi-retired difficult child myself, I think I see the value of cognitive therapy more than I used to, so long as the people involved want to look closely at themselves and change. Maybe "Supernanny" would be what it is that you and your child need to get excited about taking a closer look at personal obstacles. I have only seen the program one time for about 10 minutes, and what I did see was a child who was severely disabled. It wasn't about changing that child, it was about relieving parental stress. I think it's reasonable to assume that even a child with mental health issues also has behavioral or personal issues and can be helped with behavioral modifications and/or cognitive therapy. Mom and dad too. Otherwise, it assumes that other than the MH issues the child (or the parents) are perfect and there is no room for improvement. If nothing else, it may give you some tools to be able to handle the stress of raising a difficult child more easily. It seems reasonable to not write anything off completely if there's a chance it might work. [/QUOTE]
