[QUOTE="happy, post: 398161"] Thanks for the welcomes :) Going to make this short as possible. my son is 7, been very energictic all his life and has 2 younger siblings. 5 & 3. Seems to not listen well, talks back to me, argues a lot and has to get the last word in every single time! We butt heads and I hate it. I've tried time outs, taken away things like Wii, friends house, tv time, whatever, he doesn't seem to care. Tried reward charts and (bribs) to get get good behavior, doesn't work over time. Read the book 1,2,3 Magic, didn't work for all that long. As the months have gone by, the arguing is getting worse, the tantums are too. I know he is jealous of his siblings because he tells me and my husband. I've asked for a couple years if he has ADHD from the pediatricians, his teachers, they don't think so. Took him to see a therapist over the summer because I don't like the fact that him and I butt heads. I love him so much and it hurts so bad. So I take him in when he was 6 y/o, she , after the 2nd session, says there is no need for him to come back. He thinks like a 9 or 10 y/o , and knows how to "challenge" you. I use manipulate, she used challenge. He's smart. We think he's going to be a great lawyer or business salesman. Ok great. So last month I go to PTC at the school and his 2nd grade teacher tells me that he is brillant. Wow, great!! He gets it, it's simple for him the work, tests, everything. Except, the silence in the room.........his work habits are poor, his listening skills and following directions are poor. :dissapointed: She doesn't know how he's going to make it into the 3rd grade. He doesn't hang his coat when he comes in from recess, throws it on his desk. Has a messy desk, doesn't focus, looks out the windows all the time, doesn't pay attention and so on. I wanted to crawl under the desk. I couldn't believe it. I asked for advice and didn't really recieve any help. Can't send him off to Special Education because he gets A's for everything. She uses play $ in the class and said she would pay him $1 a day if he kept his desk clean. My son said he didn't want her $ and would try to keep it neat. So this has been really bothering me, crying at night, asking what are we going to do, blah, blah, blah. So the holidays come up and I'm at dinner with family and friends and my sisters friend is a teacher and she teaches Special Education kids and I tell her a bit about what is going on and she tells me to look into ODD, so that's what I have been doing for the last couple days.
