[quote=Anonymous]I hear you! TBH, we have never gotten sheets like this from any therapist, but we also haven't gotten useful tips. We've been stuck in several situations where it felt like the therapist was just there for the kid and was not really helping in our parenting of the kid, which was frustrating.

I have very much gotten this same kind of advice, though, from many others, and it is always infuriating. Obviously, it works in some situations with some kids, but often not with the type of kids who end up in these therapy settings. We actually did a whole program where it was supposed to really help with this type of thing, and it felt pretty much like the same-old.

I also hate when I am reading a book with information that is spot-on, and then they end up with a few stock recommendations and something like, "If you're seeing more severe behavior issues, find a therapist to work with." Okay, like a therapist will just solve the problem like a quick painkiller pill that helps with your headache! Therapists aren't magic and won't make these things go away automatically.[/quote]
