[quote=Anonymous][quote=Zhenhao][quote=Anonymous]My kid would love that, but he saw on TV some of the protests there last year turn violent and he's scared of GWU. [/quote]

Thanks for letting me know — that totally makes sense. I understand how those images could be unsettling. Just to reassure you, there haven’t been any protests near GWU for quite a long time now, and our sessions take place in a quiet, secure building on campus, far from any public areas ：）

Really appreciate your interest![/quote]

Thanks for getting back to me. I do think it's an interesting idea to use robots. How big are they? When my nephew was looking at colleges we went with him to tour George Mason and my son fell in love with all the delivery robots. They were like little RTD2s-lower to the ground and surprisingly cute. He was constantly looking around hoping to spot another one. He would have enjoyed chatting with one.

I also think the breathing exercise is a good idea-just make sure it is taught correctly. One psychologist taught it wrong (and even her handout was wrong), but when another psychologist taught it properly and made sure he was doing it right each visit, it was a really useful tool.[/quote]
