[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not accurate. A 7 yr old can absolutely work on developing skills— emotion regulation, social pragmatic based, and problem solving skills.

Any good practice / therapist will include parent work/ involvement in each session. [/quote]

They can work on those skills in realtime in natural situations where the problems arise - which is usually the complete opposite from a talk therapy session. The only thing a talk therapist could do is provoke emotional dysregulation then work on the response - but that is something that could backfire extremely badly with the wrong (poorly trained) therapist, so I would not be likely to agree to that. There is actually an NIH study on irritability in older kids that deliberately provokes anger to practice tolerating it - but in that study the kids are older, and I still have my reservations about it. It could seriously be a huge breach of trust/abusive to the child to be deliberately angered in a setting they cannot control.

OTOH training that helps the parent coach the child when the dysregulation naturally arises could be effective. [/quote]
