We were having issues with our then 6-year old, who started having nightmares, was showing higher-than-normal anxiety and was very defiant. Dr. Rothenberg met with us 3 times and took detailed notes but never once spoke to our child. She did observe him at our home. The feedback we received was that we were too permissive. We eventually found a very qualified therapist at Stanford-LPCH. At the first meeting, my son told her that the nanny we had (who lasted 2 months) was hitting him, but it happened while weren't home and he didn't tell us. I was devastated, but was glad to finally be getting help for my son. He did really well and he knows I'm here for him no matter what!
