[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He “ won’t engage” with a therapist? What does this mean? [/quote] Will not talk, shuts down, gets silly. She said it can be hard with kids this age (or any age) in that they sniff out what you’re trying to do and if they don’t want to talk about feelings or whatever they just won’t. After a couple sessions she said it wouldn’t help him for him to directly have therapy (vs parent coaching for me) if he won’t engage. [/quote] Parent coaching sounds like a great idea. You need new skills to respond and, eventually, teach him to handle frustration differently. Did the neuropsych give any recommendations? For parenting skills, Dr. Dan Shapiro's class is excellent for kids for whom "regular" parenting techniques aren't enough. https://www.parentchildjourney.com/[/quote]
