Yes but don’t take them to the wrong therapist. That ABA shit is unethical. Therapy is also not a magic cure-all

i really wish my parents would have just communicated better overall instead of using “punishments”. i teach kids as an adult now and they want explanations and reasoning because it helps them understand why certain things are effective and how simple things can help create healthy habits which i had to learn as an adult.. in therapy 😂

Exactly this. Looking back I was doing shit because I didn’t know any better yet they acted like I did. Like no mom I’m only 9 wtf you mean I should know better

Somewhat related fun fact: Some “ABA” therapists actually practice good therapy techniques but label themselves as an ABA practitioner because insurances cover that more often 🙂something I learned relatively recently
