[QUOTE="WSM, post: 271815, member: 5169"] 7 months old and already severely damaged by neglect that might have affected her whole life. It makes you want to just weep. difficult child had 3 and a half years of inconsistent care. Gross neglect and abandonment, followed by smothering care, lots of changes of caregivers. He's been diagnosed as needing cognitive therapy, and supposedly the current therapist is a cognitive therapist. He gave difficult child the assignment of writing down every time he lies and what caused him to lie and every time he told the truth and what caused him to tell the truth. He hasn't done it, he says he lies because he doesn't want anyone to know or he wants to get out of trouble (the implication being he's not going to admit to any lying people don't know about--and if he's caught he was only lying to avoid being caught, like duh), and he tells the truth all the time so it's too much writing. We'll see what the therapist has to say about that. I once read of a contraversial therapy where kids were pushed through a 'birth canal' and 'reborn'. They were then diapered, fed from a bottle, carried around, and rocked for as long as they wanted, then they were led through all the developmental and emotional phases of childhood until they got what they'd missed. They usually didn't want to wear the diapers for long, but would maybe hang onto the bottle for a long time and want to be rocked for weeks, before they were ready to give that up. It was said this therapy had some remarkable successes. But critics said there were some horrible results too. We would never attempt such a contraversial and risky and bizarre treatment, but I can understand why it was designed. husband and I KNOW that all the advice to give difficult child is just a band aid on a gaping hemoraging wound. How come you and we know it, and we aren't professionals, but the professionals don't know it? With all their experience. [/QUOTE]
