[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 390915, member: 1991"] While I do agree it was the wrong thing for the therapist to do, I do think it was a well-meaning mistake. He had previously spent some time working with difficult child to work through tis stuff, and with the passage of time he didn't realise that he couldn't just pick up where he left off. Sometimes as adults, we forget that time passes differently for us, faster for us, than it does for children. Kids can do a lot of growing, both physically and emotionally, in what seems to us to be only a very short time indeed. I would say, "Next time, please check with me first so you can get a more accurate update on difficult child's progress." But I think you've made sure he already has got this message. I would't be wanting him replaced, not if he did a good job previously and has the potential to do so again. This was a gaffe, big-time. But mistakes happen and it was not meant in malice. he's got the message. Or if he hasn't and does something like this again, THEN he's gone. Better the devil you know... Marg [/QUOTE]
