[QUOTE="busywend, post: 73954, member: 391"] Janna, I like you. But, I have heard you tell me that I am a bad parent because my child is defiant once too many times. I do not believe your Dylan ever was defiant. Perhaps he was out of control or not listening to you from your parenting techniques at the time. I am glad you were able to make the changes necessary to get your Dylan to listen and follow your rules. IT DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT FOR EVERYONE! I am a great mom and I have been every possible type of mom. When very strict and very consistent did not work I had no idea what to do. That is when I came here. I am NOT saying every parenting day for me was stellar by any means. I do not care if you do not believe in ODD. To me it truly does and I live it day in and day out. For you to tell me I cause the heartache that is my life - really, really does make me angry. You can believe whatever you want, but it is my opinion you need to consider what others have tried and are going through. ODD is real. It exists in alot of the homes on this board. Yes, I do believe your advice to try the sticker chart and the reward system and the srictness and the consistency are important for everyone to try. But, it is not right for you to assume they did not do it right if they have a defiant child after all that hard work. I truly am proud of you and happy for you that you were able to help your Dylan with the changes you could make in your own home. I am jealous of it actually. I only wish it had worked for me. I do not want to anger you and if you want to take this to PM we can. [/QUOTE]
