[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"OT,
Good morning!
I wanted to ask if you could incorporate some strategies for drop off/pick up from OT. As I'm sure you've noted, DC has a really difficult time at both ends of therapy.
Any ideas from your end on how we could help make this a better transition? It can only help maximize the benefit of your excellent therapy, I'm sure.
Thanks in advance! [/quote]

This, but ask for exactly what you need: (after the appointment) "Thanks for another great session! Would you mind to give us some space? We're working on transitions and Joey seems to do better without an audience.  See you next week!"[/quote]

Do you actually think the therapy is "excellent" because if you don't I would not include that. I am all for kissing ass, but I only give genuine compliments. A good OT would know to help ease the transition and [b]would not blame the parent.[/b] If your kid didn't have any issues, your DC wouldn't need OT. I would ask for strategies and also explain how overextended you are. If you are met with arrogance and useless feedback, move on.[/quote]

The OT didn't "blame the parent."  The OP just feels that way.  Most OTs know parents are overextended, but may not recognize the OP is struggling with her kid.  So many kids act like this, it's hard to tell sometimes which parents are fine internally and others who are just spent.[/quote]
