[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 352109, member: 3419"] Hi fellow book lover! :) Welcome. Sounds like you're onto something here. I agree, ODD is just a symptom. She has some things in common with-my son, who is SO bossy and SO much wanting to be in charge, I can't stand it. One night when he was about 5, I told him he had to put ME to bed and tuck ME in. HE did it and actually did a good job, but of course I had to sneak up and make sure he went to bed, later. :) I tried it again and it didn't work the 2nd time. One thing I'd suggest for your daughter, is joining her in cleaning her room, and instead of saying "clean your room," say, "Let's go pick up all the dirty clothes off of your floor and throw them in the laundry. Then you can color in your book." I have found that "Clean your room" is like lighting a cannon fuse. It's way too overwhelming ... and my son is 13! I agree that you have to keep all of your children safe. Does your 7-yr-old do well alone in his room? Can you give him a certain space and time, say, an hr by himself every day, where you can keep the 10-yr-old occupied and away from him? Do you use babysitters? how does she react to them? Maybe you could hire a babysitter for her, while you do something with-your son. Just some ideas. [/QUOTE]
