If you have an ODD child, were you ODD as a child, too?

[QUOTE="Fran, post: 122171, member: 3"] Without a doubt I was oppositional but hardly in a difficult child category. I questioned everything. Defied my parents limits but in a survival method of oppositional behavior. Ex)Parents wouldn't let me go to the Y to learn to swim. "I may drown". I filled the application and went without their knowledge. I learned to swim. It goes on and on like that. I became all the more determined to do things my way as I realized that my parents suffered narrow vision. I was oppositional but it served me well and honed a person who was self reliant at a young age and who made good choices. Just not my parent's choices but good choices. I know I was a difficult 11 through 13yr old and very mouthy. I'm sure I gave my mother grey hair but other than trying cigarettes(and hating them) I didn't really engage in risky behavior. Both my son's are very willful. Neither are inclined to follow peer pressure. It's a good thing. When being oppositional stops you from living a full life then it is a problem. [/QUOTE]
