If they had, they would know that the show is teaching about how to deal with person to person type conflicts and problems. They use trains because they keep the childs attention better than some people acting it out.

Worse yet, when you FIND a psych who applies common sense, you can end up in even MORE trouble.

I know of several families which got into trouble with their local children's services over use of corporal punishment, and other issues, because their local therapist had them following the the published tenets of a nationally known Psych (Dr. Dobson of "Focus on the family" fame).

Dr Dobson declined to come, or send anyone to testify on their behalf, and the rest of their hearinngs were a mockery of justice. But that is probably a subject for another time on another board.

Yes Allen, I've had that experience as well, but, as you say, this is prob'ly not the place.
