[QUOTE="Praecepta, post: 707380, member: 20025"] Well if you can't get help from a professional right now, then I would recommend the "Internet do-it-yourself" method! That is just ask for ideas here and elsewhere. Maybe we can come up with some ideas which will help the situation until you can get professional help? I have some ideas and one is a "Time In". This is the opposite of a "Time Out". Instead of the boy spending time in his room alone, make him be right next to you for a period of time. He must follow you around or you follow him around or sit next to him. Another thing which I found REALLY helpful was a book on ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder). And that book said to give positive reinforcement rather than negative. Simply look for him to be doing something good, then reward him. For ADHD, removing sugar from the diet can work wonders. Or the opposite is giving them sugar, then they turn into tornadoes! So water instead of soda pop, etc. And ask the local school counselors if there are parenting classes in your area. These are wonderful because you will meet other parents who have gone through similar situations. And they will have excellent suggestions. [/QUOTE]
