Hey Mel Thanks for asking!!! The psychologist apt was interesting!! In a nut shell she thinks that Katy has a problem with emotions. We did some role playing with puppets etc and nothing really weird came up. Then she started asking Katy to draw some stuff. Draw happy then draw sad and mad etc. Well soon Katy started disconnecting from the play and started walking off doing other stuff and totally ignoring her. It was really weird to watch. Katy even got really mad at her and started yelling so she got to see what I deal with when Katy gets mad.
So she felt that Katy has a lot of anger inside and she needs to work on expressing her emotions and knowing that its OK to be sad or scared etc. I need to work with her each day to draw what her feeling are and do some role playing with puppets etc. I'll give it a try and see what happens. Who knows. Its funny to see her interacting with puppets. We did some of that last night before bed. She seems to be able to talk to them so hopefully we can get somewhere. My next step is the kinesiology. don't know much about it, but it should help her with her anger. Wish us luck!! Sam PS- I'm glad kindergarten went well. That must be hard to do. I am dreading when Katy goes to school. I hope she doesn't pull this stuff when it comes time for that. I put off pre-school this year due to some of her behaviour, but maybe I shouldn't have. -----Original Message----- From: Mel and Tim Golobar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 1:55 PM To: canada Subject: [canada] Re: How was your day? Hoping things went well with the psychologist today! It was our first day of Kindergarden! She seems pretty quiet but I think it went well, communication isn't our strongest suit! Anyway just wanted to drop a line to check in and see how the day went for you, I hope you get some sleep too Lisa there is nothing worse than broken up sleep!
