Have you taken/would you take your child to therapy?

Question

Just looking for positive feedback from parent who have or would if they felt their child would benefit from it.

Answer

My mom always thought everyone needed therapy- come to find out, SHE needed it. 
I think unless there are extenuating circumstances, therapy is a replacement for mom and dad having open communication with their child. If parents are around enough and do THEIR job, you don't need a 3rd party. It's weird, uncomfortable, and unnecessary. 
MY opinion. Others may feel differently.

Answer

Yes. My eldest has gone off and on since he was 3. We see a psychologist. He has adhd. It’s helpful to him and mostly for me so I know how best to parent him. When my husband and I split, it was an amazing resource to have.

Answer

Yes, it could benefit them greatly.. actually a lot of people just suffering from everyday stress would benefit greatly from it. Though as someone pointed out they had a bad experience with it... You really have to make sure to have open communication with the child and make sure they actually like their therapist, therapists are not a one size fits all. I know I hated my therapists that my mother took me to when I was a teenager because they were all super religious and it bothered me that they had a preconceived idea of how I should live my life and one even tried pushing that on me, which is extremely unprofessional. Just make sure that the therapist and child are a good fit for eachother.

Answer

No, not unless they wanted to. My mom put me in it and it was horrible.
