We just had our annual social worker visit. Its a social worker we know well and she's lovely. I took the opportunity to talk to her about DS's levels of anxiety and anger management issues thinking there might be some techniques I could practice with him or books/articles I could read.
She has suggested a caterpillar chart where you colour one segment of body everyday that you behave well and at the end of the caterpillar (7 sections) you get a treat.
DS (nearly 8 and very emotionally literate) looked at it (she dropped it through the door so wasn't there at the time), rolled his eyes teenager stylee and pronounced "Thats for babies"
I couldn't disagree with him.
Am I being unreasonable to be a bit disappointed that after our long discussion she failed to grasp that his issues might go a bit beyond a star chart approach.
Back to the drawing board.
