[QUOTE="Dunno, post: 713912, member: 21913"] I have a daughter who is a few years older than your grandson who also appears to have ODD. She is very defiant, and its her way or the highway (she once got into an arguement with her grandfather over ordering a pizza because she didn't want pizza- to the point where he drove her home ranting and raving). In my experiences, you can only take one day at a time, and try to find good in the situation. There are some days that are going to be a lot better then others; and some days, where everything is a million times worse. Without any question, its difficult. I recently read a really good book on it, "Raising the Operationally Defiant Child." I actually bought it off Amazon, and I would highly recommend it. There are a lot of things in there that work. For example, when there having a tantrum (even about the most minor things in life) don't yell back. I know its tempting, and we've all been there, but if you do, it puts you on there level. It also talks about the importance of consequences, which I'm working on. By no means is it a cure-all, but it helps. [/QUOTE]
