[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 588976, member: 1550"] Agree skip t he ODD. Majority of us don't believe it's a real diagnois. All it means is "defiant child." Doesn't explain why the child is defiant and since kids don't just wake up each morning thinking, "How can I make everyone mad at me" there is an underlying cause for his sporadic violence and inability to obey. I doubt if regular parenting will help him any. Our differently wired kids do not normally respond to things like "time out." This is very unlikely to be due to anything you did wrong. It is likely inside of HIM...he is wired differently and needs to be treated differently. Don't guilt yourself. It's not your fault at all. Most parents both work these days so it can't be that. Your other kids are fine, right? Does he like to and know how to play with toys? Does he understand how to relate to his same age peers without hitting them? Does he ever repeat things, say, he hears on television? Good rote memory? My best advice I can give you is to have him evaluated. I prefer Neuropsychs. I don't know if there are any hidden mental illnesses in his family tree to know if he could have inherited anything. Is there any form of autism in his two family DNA trees? He could be suffering from a high functioning form of that. That certainly makes kids act out and get violent, especially when they are very young. Has he had any delays of any sorts? Any strange quirks? Make odd noises? Is his eye contact good both with his family and with strangers? Can he be around a lot of stimuli without getting upset? Loud noise? Does he eat a variety of food? For the most part, we are just parents and since we don't know what is wrong with your son we can't really tell you how to parent him. That's why most of us recommend a thorough evaluation. He is so young. It is better to nip it in the bud than have a kid acting out violently when he is ten years old and almost as tall as you are.
