[QUOTE="Andy, post: 150493, member: 5096"] I would be concerned that therapist gave those videos which are above his age limit. You need to discuss this with therapist. therapist needs to respect your family rules - how else will difficult child learn to respect authority if someone is telling him to disregard family rules? Do you meet with the therapist and difficult child at the end of each session? Our meetings are set up that way, difficult child first and then I come in toward the end to discuss anything difficult child wants to cover or that I want to bring up. That gives me a chance to get to know how therapist handles situations. We go over some of the daily coping skills that difficult child and therapist discussed for certain situations. It is important that parents know what these skills are - what is difficult child to do? Parents need to be able to help implement these skills - how can they do so if they are not told what they are? We are working on ignoring teasings or situations that will bring up anger, ect. difficult child is to walk away. Teachers will need to know that also so they better understand what difficult child is trying to do. Maybe ask for a monthly or quarterly family session to recap what difficult child is learning from therapist sessions? I would still follow your instincts. Our instincts sometimes indicates something is not right and some times we just can't put it in words. [/QUOTE]
