Can I just say that Dbat and Kate you have made me feel so good about my choice to keep DD out of this kind of group! I have successfully argued on several occasions why we do not believe it is necessary or appropriate for her. I cannot believe that a trained psych - regardless of how young - could have handled this situation in this way. If it is causing harm and your DD is otherwise doing well in school is there a reason you cannot just ask that she be removed from this group? If you choose to do some skill training on your own that's great but I am at a loss as to why the parents should have to work so hard to undo damage being caused by the professional.
