[QUOTE="SRL, post: 38619, member: 701"] My son didn't respond to discipline from the onset. At 21 months he was manageable but at 3 started to become a real handful that required constant supervision. If the child is raised in a loving, stable home environment then most will be responding to discipline by then. I would suggest that you pick up a copy of the book "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. Much of it (the rationalizing part) will seem like it's for much older kids but what I would like you to take from the book is the mindset of flexibility instead of authority that it takes to raise a defiant child successfully. There's a thread at the top of this board that explains how to adapt it to young children. A few questions for you-- 1) What's the family mental health history like? 2) Are there any speech delays or differences? 3) Anything else unusual in the development--quirky interests, advanced or delayed cognitive skills, oversensitive to sounds/light/clothing/food, etc? 4) How are his sleep patterns? Hang in there and we'll see if we can't get you pointed in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
