[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 459996, member: 1991"] ODD (or what I carefully describe as something resembling ODD) functions like tug of war. If you are on opposite ends of the rope, each pulling in opposite directions, you will find that the game continues. But if you let go your end, he will fall over. Game over. Because once you engage in this game, you have already lost. But as you have found, he responds to kindness much better. This is (to keep the analogy) where you go to his end of the rope and find something more effective to do with it. Together, as a team. Marg [/QUOTE]
