lola, that is EXACTLY why we're changing. I might not agree with some things a therapist chooses to do, but if it helps LR in the long run I'm going to push through. However, when he starts showing signs that he dislikes his therapist or she's making him do something he feels very uncomfortable, or (like now) doing something that absolutely doesn't sit right with me, DH, or LR, then that's when we know it's time to make a change.

Do you have an advice on how DH and I can go about explaining why LR acts the way he does to family members or other people in general? Most of them don't seem to understand that he feels safer with his stuffed pals, and my MIL took them away whilst he was sleeping over at her house. I only found out when I went to pick him up, but let me tell you, I was furious. And the school doesn't seem particularly thrilled that I asked if LR can take his stuffies in his backpack. I'm just not sure how to convey that, right now, LR needs his toys to show how he feels and express his opinion.
