[quote=Anonymous]My son has recently started going to therapy for anxiety issues, which can manifest as anger issues. Going in by himself has been a big challenge, but the last few times he's been able to see the counselor with minimal issues. Today I had to bring my older child to the appt and DS asked his counselor if DD could come in but the therapist said no. Upon hearing this, DS became very upset and refused to go alone. He then swatted my hand and started to cry, saying he'd had a bad day already; this part is true- my kids went to the first day of summer camp and when I picked them up, they both said they'd had bad days and didn't enjoy it. I just feel at a loss as to how to discipline the hitting. He's 7 and clearly knows better, yet I understand why. I want to be compassionate, but also do the right thing, whatever that is. Hitting is not typical for him, as an FYI, but it's not a first time either. Thanks for your advice. [/quote]
