Mom calls and leaves the following message on your office answering machine:
“I would like to make an appointment as soon as possible to have you see my 10-year-old son for therapy. He has been getting in trouble at school lately, arguing with me and his dad about homework and refusing to stop playing his favorite computer game – Minecraft. We have tried everything, but we don’t know what else to do. We have some kind of blow up about every other day. My husband and I both work and we have two younger girls, ages 8 and 6. His father is getting angrier and I am starting to feel hopeless… maybe I’m just a bad parent. Last night we talked to my son about school he ‘totally lied to us about his homework’. I don’t know what else to do, I’m afraid my son is becoming a terrible person who just lies all the time. Please call me back ASAP.”
