[QUOTE="ROE, post: 47693, member: 2276"] I don't think there is anything wrong with kids seeing a p.doctor or a t.doctor on their own either as long as progress is being made. My easy child requested counseling a couple of times. The first t.doctor he saw, I was included in the first session. All of the other times, easy child spoke to t.docs alone. easy child was older and he was a willing participant. difficult child was another story, we forced him into counseling. difficult child was/is a "tough nut to crack". He was not a willing participant and usually offered little at best. It was important for us to be included or t.doctor never would've known what was really going on. I like the idea of a joint session because difficult child did have private time with t.doctor and then we had the opportunity to add our concerns. Because difficult child was there he knew that t.doctor was not betraying his confidence-not that difficult child ever told him anything anyway. It may sound like therapy did not really help difficult child because he never opened up much (to anybody)but it did in the sense that difficult child "heard" everything that was being said even though he may have seemed unresponsive at the time. He was listening. His sessions sure helped me, I got a lot of helpful suggestions on how to help difficult child to help himself. I agree with Linda, family counseling would be a good idea for you. Your husband needs to keep his head out of the sand and face reality. difficult child is manipulating him, ignoring the situation is not going to make it go away. It's awesome that the elemenary counselor gave difficult child her home phone number. That certainly goes above and beyond. in my opinion, if you want difficult child to continue in therapy on a regular basis; I would go elsewhere. Is this a guidance counselor or the school pysch? Regardless, I would think that there may be a conflict of interest particularly if issues in school continue. T.doctor's document sessions, I think that this important particulary when medication. management is involved. Maybe she can recommend someone else? Good Luck [/QUOTE]
