Theraply Helping parent and Children Build Better Relationsh

I highly recommend Theraplay, Theraplay Institute, holding techniques etc. I've used the techniques on my 7 year old son who has attachment issues. I've been using the techniques for about 7 months and it's nothing short of a miracle. Before my son said he wanted to put a gun to his head and kill himself. He used to say he was stupid and that he was the dumbest kid in his class. He was constantly in trouble at school and had serious control issues. He was very hard to get along with and was often violent. He's made a complete turn around. We are still working through things like him being immature when tired or hungry or being teased. Occasionally he will hit a kid but so do "normal" kids. Take this advise from a momma that loves her son deeply, Theraplay works. I do strongly suggest seeing an Attachment Therapist in conjuction with apply techniques. The reason for me posting this very personal message is because I hope to help someone that is in a similiar situation as my family. Traditional therapy wont help kids with attachment issues.
