He was full of smiles and joking. Not something I have witnessed. But I digress! Sorry about that! 
To add to my distress over the issue, he shared with me who he DREADED hearing from! 
I will address the phone issue with him but what I don't understand is how he has gotten away with it for so long? ie No one else found it disruptive, rude and difficult to return to the topic at hand? Good thing it wasn't anything too serious being discussed at the time. I fear that it won't always be the case. Has anyone else had to deal with this? |
My has done this a couple times but before session started she told me she had to stay close to her phone because of a family emergency.
My sons play therapist told me when we first started therapy with my son that she has a daughter that has medical issues and she keeps her phone near by at all times in case her school or daycare need to get a hold of her. Last week during my sons session her daughter called from school. She apologized several times, but I really don't care if I know it's for good reasons. She also let us go 5mins over to make up for it.
