[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for those who have dealt with this type of thing. How do you get your child to agree to see the therapist or psychiatrist? Our DS routinely refuses to go. He won't even get in the car. We take things away (tv, computer, phone) but nothing seems to phase him. I hate to say but should we offer him rewards for going. We want him to get the help he needs but are at a loss. [/quote] Having been through this, I would strongly recommend some reading up on positive parenting strategies and techniques. The taking away things approach actually made our situation worse. Trying to understand the world as he sees it will help (even if that world doesn't make sense to you). Maybe look at family counseling rather than counseling for just him, it will help you even if he is not wanting to go.[/quote]
