[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Therapy is so excellent for kids. They need a safe non judgmental place to talk. Seems your kid too [/quote] Not always. For a kid who is constantly negative sometimes it makes things even worse. It is an hour a week to complain some more with a person who is not only going to encourage the endless complaints but be really sympathetic to them. OP if you are in the car driving and all your kid wants to do is to whine, say you can complain but first you have to tell me something positive about your day. Then you say something positive about your day and explain not everything went well but you like to concentrate on what went well (and if you need to make up something). If your kid can't come up with one positive statement tell her she can't complain and you guys can listen to a song in the car. [/quote]
