Me: masters in behavioral health and practicing clinician
Him: high school diploma, studying completely unrelated field, somehow thinks his strong feelings override scientific fact and knowledge of it
It’d be interesting to have a conversation with you and my brother. I don’t have a masters, but I do work in the field of behavioral child psychology. Last time my nephew was over, my brother didn’t approve of how I handled his son’s behavior. Even though I work with kids who exhibit far more dangerous behaviors and am trained to handle them, the fact that he’s his father overrules everything. I can’t argue that - parents gonna parent how they do. But it hurts, because he complains about my mom all the time but doesn’t realize he’s treating his kids the same way our mom treated us (which exacerbates said-behaviors.)
Just being a parent doesn’t mean you instantly know how to raise kids. Especially if you didn’t learn from the failures of your own parents.
Hmmmm I don’t think that sounds like an interesting conversation I think it sounds like a migraine. Parent training foremost involves parents consent and kiddo assent, without both I can’t do anything anyway, and consent has to be to my treatment plan based on needs mutually identified as you are aware I’m sure. So ultimately if they don’t want my services there are tons of people who do.
Throughout my entire marriage.

Hope you moved on from the dick 🙏
Yep, in more way than one. 😉
