[QUOTE="jkrohn76, post: 305413, member: 8032"] :whiteflag:I have a seven year old son, who even as a baby was difficult to manage. Whether it was not putting his shoes or socks on in the right order, his face getting messy, or just outright defiance at anything I tried to teach him. He has been through way more than most kids his age, we(myself, 2 boys and girl) left their abusive father 2 years ago. Once he started school it became even more apparent that he didn't transition well, so I worked with him and the school. Every year I have the same problems when he starts school. First it starts out he gets irritated by something or someone(either they don't want to do what he wants or they are bothering him), then he hits, yells and screams until someone pulls him off. He's extremely sensitive to his surroundings. I have taken him to a counselor, so that I can try and help him manage his anger. She has diagnosed him with ODD.
