[QUOTE="SRL, post: 108602, member: 701"] Jef, I moved your post here to a new thread, so as not to confuse the other parent's seeking help and your's. SRL Posted by Jef Kahn, 12/19/07 "Whats with this Opositional Defiant Disorder label. Now Ive seen it all and enough is enough. All children can be oppositional, and defiant.
