Seeing a shrink; I have booked in to see Dr Boyle later this week.  I am struggling with managing Joey and my relationship.  I need to better understand how to manage Joey's behaviour so that it does not end in conflict, as it is increasingly doing.  The difficulty is maintaining boundaries for behaviour whilst  avoiding aways being on his back and getting into fights.  I have to understand that Joey will always be impulsive and energetic, and will not think before he speaks.  That can often end in tears so his energy and imagination needs to be channeled and conflict avoided.  It can be done but will not be easy and we will need all the help we can get.
