This is a fundamental part of my work as a child psychologist. Though it feels like musical chairs in my office at times, I always have parents in first briefly, then work with the child, then have parents in at the end to share the work from the session. Parents are on the front line, their observations and interventions are invaluable. I have written three books for parents in the Freeing Your Child series (Anxiety, OCD and Negative Thinking) with the goal of giving parents the inside scoop of how they can handle these issues at home and be on the same page as (or sometimes a few chapters ahead of) their child's therapist. If you are interested in learning more about these issues, please take a look at: www.freeingyourchild.com. Thank you again for putting this important message on the radar.
