[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 89143, member: 3626"] If they're over 4 and under 18 and not on drugs, this the place to be!!! So, welcome. Another one who is wondering who put this label on him, especially since it doesn't sound like you have had any testing, etc. Peers can be a real problem. If you try to keep them apart, it usually makes the negative ones seem so much more attractive and worth the risk to see them without permission. What I did was talk to my daughter, explain the negatives I was seeing and limit access to only when they were well supervised. The other girl quickly got tired of being watched and moved on to other victims. If he is truly ODD, the old-fashioned forms of respect and discipline won't work. They are just things to get around -- either up front and in your face or by manipulation or just sneaking. It may work for a week or two because there is the honeymoon period but it won't make much difference in the long run. When you have the time, give us more specifics about the behavior that is bothering you. I doubt there is anything your son has done or said that we haven't heard before and, who knows, we might even have a trick or two up our sleeves that can help. [/QUOTE]
