[QUOTE="BellJar, post: 477957, member: 13068"] I am so sorry you had to listen to this ignorant ninny. I too know the pain and frustration of people automatically assuming I don't discipline my son or am a lousy parent. What I've figured out is, those people need someone to blame. They are so stuck in this rigid way of thinking 'if you do XYZ, you get XYZ results' and they just can"t seem to comprehend that not every kid is an XYZ kid. But it's one thing coming from another parent or well meaning do gooder. It's quite another to hear it from a professional that you are relying on for support. Is she new at her job? She doesn't sound very experienced to me - reminds me of my son's teacher last year. I think it was her first year of teaching. We started him on a behavioral plan and she called me TWO days later to complain how it wasn't working. I had to tell her to give it some time and be consistent. I would continually be amazed at how upset she got with him and so badly wanted to tell her that if she thought Poe was the worst kid she would ever have she might want to change professions. Anyway, the Occupational Therapist (OT) doesn't sound like she's too well versed at dealing with challenging kids and I also agree that she was very unprofessional to say those things with your child in the room. Talk about undermining! Is there anyone else he could go to, someone with more experience and that you can feel more comfortable with and supported by? [/QUOTE]
