[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 154982, member: 1991"] Amazing! Nobody's yet mentioned "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene! I really amazed because it is a very useful book especially where you are dealing with ODD-type behaviours. Something else to consider - ODD-type behaviour can often be the result of a family applying conventional (and generally considered appropriate and successful) discipline techniques to a kid who needs a different approach. For some kids, the usual methods not only don't work, they can make them worse. If a kid is exceptionally bright, for example (with an overdeveloped sense of injustice); or a kid with ADHD or some other learning problem; a kid with impulse control issues or some other problem - these kids will not be as in control of the extremes in their behaviour as we like to think. And to discipline a kid for what they can't really control - not good. Read the book. Read summaries on the book. Read discussions on the book (See Early Childhood forum for some really great stuff). It should help a lot. It's not a cure, just a better way of managing. You still need to follow through with assessments and appointments to try to identify any underlying contributory condition.
