[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 350306, member: 7371"] Hi, Sleepless, and welcome. You'll find lots of good advice here. I don't post too frequently, but I read a lot. The most helpful thing is knowing you're not alone, you're not a bad parent, and you're not crazy. We have always seen a big gap between behavior at home and behavior at school. In a rare moment of self-awareness a year or so ago, difficult child admitted that all the frustration comes out at home because he knows I'm the only one who will love him no matter what. That said, now that he's in high school, we have had problems with not doing work, cutting classes, and occasionally disrespecting a teacher. Those are all forms of defiance too, so I'm not the only "target" any more. You are wise to get help early. I wish now that I had pushed back when difficult child was little and the pediatrician dismissed his actions as "just negative behavior." [/QUOTE]
