[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, if the speech therapist is being so negative, I'd switch speech therapists! [/quote]

It doesn't sound like the SLP is being harsh just honest.  It's not "bad news."  She's giving you an update of how your kid is doing and she has limited time to do so.

Truly OP, I don't want therapists to sugar coat stuff or beat around the bush.  I need to know what the problems are and what I can do about them.  Work on your attitude; be receptive to what she's saying.  She's not trying to be mean.

Also, from personal experience, being on anti-depressants help.[/quote]

I promise you, I am open. I want to hear the progress and the concerns. But I believe delivery is important, especially when it is in front of my 4 yr old DS, who understands what she is saying. Her delivery is usually a little rough around the edges. I am very receptive, probably too receptive because I take everything she says to heart very seriously. Which is why I asked for coping advice on how to manage how to handle what I hear, as someone only a year into this whole process. [/quote]
