[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 362644, member: 1550"] This is my experience with raising five kids, the youngest one now being 14. Actually, most kids will be fairly compliant. They may whine "I don't want to go now" or "Can't we stay please?" But most kids will go without raging. A rage isn't normal for any age kid. Most of my kids have never raged. I'd say most kids will accept it if they are at a store and want candy, but the parent says "no." They may stamp a foot or pout, but they will not throw themselves on the floor and scream. That is over-the-top. Most kids can hear the word "no" in general. And most do respond to time outs and other forms of discipline. Remember, though, the fact that your child is so much better is a great thing. medications do not correct behavior 100%. And within normal, some kids are still more spirited than others. My youngest was an easy kid, baby to now. You tell her no and she may pout, but that's it. She wants to please. My oldest daughter was very sensitive. She didn't disobey us so much as cried easily if her feelings had been hurt. She had some tantrums too. My Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid used to rage, oblivious to whether others were around or if we were in public or if anyone could see...that is not the norm. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids can not transition well...to this day (and he's almost 17) we have to ease him from one transition to another. There is a wide range of normal. I would say any sort of public rage that happens often and causes attention is not within the norm. The best way to see normal behavior is to go to a busy park or shopping and watch other kids. Then you can see if your child is behaving outside the box or like the other kids. I'm glad your child is doing so well that you have to ask if he's behaving normally ;) Take care. [/QUOTE]
