[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree.  What will your kid have to give up to make time for this, and perhaps that fun activity was more therapeutic?

My son's therapist (who he saw after we faced some serious illness within the family) talked to me a whole lot about my son and how kids process things.  Sometimes they do so best by NOT PROCESSING UNTIL READY.  [/quote]

THIS.  Therapy is not for everyone.  It's only beneficial if the person in therapy is willing to be honest, forthcoming, and introspective.  If the patient is not interested in being there, then therapy is pointless.[/quote]

... And for what it's worth, after a few visits getting to know my son, she concluded he did not need therapy, handed us her card and said we were always welcome back should circumstances change.

So, it isn't just whether the patient is interested and willing  Sometimes it is just unnecessary or not a time where the talking will achieve anything.[/quote]

Same here but the therapist she said she wished more parents checked in to see if it is needed until waiting until a child has gone off the rails and then they need a year or more of therapy instead of a few check in meetings.[/quote]
