[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 142498, member: 3647"] Hello and welcome! I echo what Meowbunny said, the book "Explosive Child" may be your best friend in dealing with a challenging child. I have found, too, that asking why in the heat of a meltdown just adds fuel to the fire. It is a mommy instinct to try and teach the child a lesson, or at least get them to see and admit to a wrongdoing. As a parent of a challenging child, I have had to learn to be flexible and very creative. The first thing on the priority list is to diffuse the situation. Talking about it can come later (WAY later). Find a way to redirect the child without triggering him/her. Yes, it seems backwards, but our kids are wired differently. They are not bad kids. They process information differently and sometimes have a hard time coping with simple questions or commands (ie, please brush your teeth). I agree that your child may need a more thorough evaluation. While ODD is indeed a real diagnosis, sometimes Aspergers mimics ODD. Again, welcome to the board, Glad you found us, but sorry you had to! [/QUOTE]
