[QUOTE="Malika, post: 517044, member: 11227"] Hello and welcome. I have to say I find it surprising that the "experts" say that a child like yours (or mine, or whoever's) is just going through the terrible twos or is all boy, etc, when it is obvious to me, as a complete layperson with limited experience, that this kind of behaviour is [B]not[/B] within the range of what one would expect and that there are alarm signals going off. Of course it is very hard working with such a young child but the earlier he is identified as having likely issues, the better I would have thought. Changing these children's behaviour through discipline and the normal strategies just doesn't seem to work and that is what is so frustrating about it. Of course you keep trying... but will probably keep failing. Personally I'm great on the theory and less hot on the practice :) But I do think there are ways to get these oppositional children to co-operate more and come more within the bounds of normality. Read and read about ODD, for the moment, would be my advice. The techniques you're using don't work. You have to find other ones. And yes... we have all been there and done that. So we know how you feel! Don't give up, there is hope along the path. [/QUOTE]
