My first thought was wow... how adult of you. You are able to carry your child/emotions in a box to tote to therapy but keep them in the box. It is nice of you to not slam him on his first week back but I wonder do you generally keep the kid(s) in a box or do you ever let them out to him? How well does he know the kids beyond your description? Would you feel safe sharing your kids more personally?

You just shared that above with the intensity comment. I understand that. Afraid they might go rampant?
