[QUOTE="Andy, post: 278708, member: 5096"] If difficult child's counselor wants to keep him safe and help him, it can not be at anyone's expense. To truly help difficult child would be to support him in taking responsibility for his actions. When you do stupid things, you get hurt. Maybe he needs to feel those consequences once in awhile from his counselor. I say time for a new counselor. One who is willing to really work WITH him not FOR him. An overprotective counselor is just as stiffling as an overprotective mom when it comes to not making a child accountable. difficult child has no reason to grow and change with a counselor and dad refusing to see the seriousness of this. They are in fact sending the message that "Good boy who can do no wrong! As long as you SAY you don't mean it it is o.k." Don't write the 5 yr old's memory off too fast. She may just be surpressing it and some day it will come out. Something will trigger it and it will be so strong and scary for her at that moment. [/QUOTE]
