I don't disagree that might be their intention, but how very unnatural! People in real life do not respond this way unless they just don't care. Or, I suppose, if a parent is too tired to engage with a tantruming child. I'm left wondering what the point is of modeling such a bizarre response that will never be replicated in life. Maybe it's me... I've been equally baffled by other things therapists are said to model.
