[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 267554, member: 1991"] You will find others here who have had similar step-parenting experiences, of problem children. Help is here, in so many ways. Read the book - it really helps. If you can get your husband to lurk/post here, that also helps. others will be along soon, plus when I get more time (maybe in the morning, my time) I'll try to post more. Meanwhile - for a sneak peek at "Explosive Child" principles, have a look at the stickies in the Early Childhood forum, there is some good discussion there on how to adapt it to younger children. MWM is correct - ODD, in such a young child, without an underlying diagnosis - I'd be very sceptical. It's too pat, a bit too simplistic. And yes, the stricter you are and the more you try to discipline, the worse you make it. There are other easier and more effective ways. Read the book. It explains how to turn it around. But you really do need her father on board here, I suspect you've been doing too much of the parenting he should have been (hey, it happens for many good reasons as well as bad ones). Welcome!
