If you are a parent, have a significant other, or are a therapist for children and/or adolescents, this is for you…

“You can’t get anyone to do anything they don’t want to do!” I recently heard myself say in a class I am attending.  Actually, I barely noticed what I said, until it was repeated back to me by classmate, David Medeiros, LCSW, (trying to imitate my Southern/Texas accent), and then by another, Peter Rossi, LMFT,  and I realized that the short exclamation carries an important truth that needs to be heard.
