Parents need to come out of exile and take back control and responsibility for their children from “experts” and organizations who believe they know better what is best for children. Parents know intimately what is happening in a child’s life and can best judge the appropriate response, sometimes with outside advice, about how to treat a child.
When a child is experiencing distress, parents are integral to any treatment plan. Children have not mastered the intellectual, verbal, emotional, psychological developmental tasks to competently assess their feelings of distress and its etiology. Any helping professional treating the child, must interview the child’s parents to get a complete and competent assessment for diagnosis. In addition, it will be incumbent on the parents to provide the necessary follow-through for any treatment plan. It is incompetent, unethical, and generally illegal, to treat a child without the involvement and consent of the child’s parents.
