[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 390116"] This sounds so much like my difficult child. I have learned to pick my battles and it sounds like this may be the case. In my difficult child's case, he asserts his control by following the directions but in his own way. I have learned to let him do it because the end result is the same, the toy gets put away and is no longer a distraction. It is obvious that this toy was important to your difficult child. My son was also diagnosed with ODD but it is beginning to look more like something else that is causing the defiance. I would highly recommend you have your difficult child evaluated by a neuropsychologist. Most people here, including me now (a new believer), that ODD is not a diagnosis as much as it is a symptom of something else. The correct way for the teacher to have handled this is to pick up the toy and hand it to your son and stand by him until it was in his pocket. It would have been a win-win for everyone. Many others will be along to give "experience" - based advice. Most of us have been there done that. Welcome to the board. You will love it here. [/QUOTE]
