[QUOTE="SRL, post: 315485, member: 701"] Hi and welcome. When what you're doing isn't working, sometimes the best thing to do is to throw it out and look for an alternative. Many of us have success with the strategies in the book "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. You'll find a thread at the top of this board with tips on adapting it to younger child. It takes some getting used to because it's not traditional authority parenting but it might be worth a try for you. Did he meet all of his developmental milestones--Speech, walking, etc. on time? Outside of the defiant behavior are you seeing any other unusual or quirky behavior? What are the credentials of the professionals who are working with him--we usually recommend developmental pediatricians and pediatric neuropsychologists for children in this age group. [/QUOTE]
