[QUOTE="slsh, post: 172089, member: 8"] thank you was about 2 when the first flags went up but I didn't really clue in to how significant the problem was until he was 5. At 2, positive reinforcement provoked *awful* behaviors and he had absolutely no desire to please adults, which was really different from my experience with kids. Spanking (which I was raised with) had absolutely no effect. Consequences had no effect. He was in your face defiant, aggressive, and beyond impulsive. Toilet training was not so much training as it was a battle of wills that went well into 1st grade. I haven't looked back on those days for a long time, but he was just such an enigma even then and I was utterly at a loss. [/QUOTE]
