[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 719276, member: 11832"] Welcome, atexlaw. My son was diagnosed with ODD when he was 4 years old. There is no medication for this. It basically means that the kid is super difficult to deal with. I think sometimes for boys that they think anger is the best response to everything. I used to say that anger was Ferb's default emotion. He certainly had a lot to be angry about, but most of the time I was the person receiving the brunt of his anger. I didn't see any improvement in this area until Ferb asked to see an anger management therapist when he was 16. He broke his cell phone in anger, and I refused to replace it. Absolutely try not to react to them. They thrive on pushing other people's buttons. Be prepared for the ante to be upped constantly. It is not a fun parenting experience, for sure. [/QUOTE]
