Taking a child to a Psychologist?

[Turkish Delight]

I would love to take my DS, DH and i all to see a psych together on how to deal with DS's giftedness. We are really struggling atm.

Did the GP give you the referral Tinks?

Yes the GP gave us a referral.

My DS was referred to a psychologist for giftedness through school TD. he saw her and was tested etc during school time. We also got to meet with her on several occasions about it too. Does your school offer something like that?

depending on topic of conversation there is privacy laws and you may not get to know all the details of what the child has said, you may get to find out how the progress is going but not details and persifics from my experiance. THEY DO REGULAR TALKS WITH THE PARENTS BUT NOT ABOUT EXACT CONVERSATIONS WITH CHILD.

Sorry caps to lazy to fix...

they do a 3 way meeting getting to know you and a parent meeting regually but the child meetings are 1 on 1 as i said depends on the nature of whats being spoken about weather you will know everything or not. feel free to pm me and ask anything.

Thanks squiddy. I don't mind if I don't know everything that is said between the psychologist and my child, as long as they feel better in the long run and return to the happy child I once knew I will be a VERY happy mum.
