[QUOTE="Malika, post: 573438, member: 11227"] Lol, some cultural difference in play here because telling those in authority how things will happen just doesn't work out in France :) by the way, this is a one day a week play centre not a school - but thanks very much for your input and similar story, garrison! Actually this is much more to do with J's potential for oppositionality, I realise, than to do with the ADHD. The director gets very angry with him and he ups the stakes, gets even more insolent and intolerable, as a bid for power (with the insecurity that must lie behind that?) and control, trying to "win" - she then gets angrier and he gets worse. I think with J it is also his defensive way of expressing hurt about the rejection he feels behind the anger. I do feel angry with the way the incident was handled but to some extent I understand the director of the play centre because I've been there done that. Oppositional behaviour in small kids is very hard to deal with. Maybe I should be more forgiving and understanding of the staff there, really, especially since they have no specialist knowledge whatever - and at least are trying to get some from me and the psychiatrist. I have an appointment with the psychiatrist on Wednesday and I'll speak to her about it then...maybe she will have some good tips for me too for J's oppositional episodes... [/QUOTE]
