[QUOTE="fightingthetide, post: 498231, member: 13610"] Wow. Thanks for all the attention I am receiving! ;-) Hmmm...where to start. Lots of background to provide. First, he is our biological child. No abuse in his history. Some anxiety/depression issues in family history, but that's it. We see a psychiatrist now. Used to see a developmental pediatrician, in addition to the regular pediatrician. My son has been medicated since age 4 for ADHD, but I have known long before that that his activity level was off the charts. He has had unbelievable temper tantrums since I can remember. Basically, not getting his way is what will set him off. Truly, the topic is interchangeable. He is delighted to annoy his siblings. Really, he fits the classic ODD profile. by the way, what does difficult child mean? I am going to have to learn some of this stuff. He has been evaluated for cognitive ability, and something else, when we first started the Rx. Bottom line, he had no disability. Honestly, he's a really smart kid, and that probably contributes to his frustration sometimes. I do have the Explosive Child book- somewhere! WOnder if I loaned it to someone, it's not on my bookshelf. LOL [/QUOTE]
