[QUOTE="Malika, post: 484488, member: 11227"] Jules (like everyone here), I really understand what you are saying - and the frustration, doubt and confusion about all this. My own sense of it, for what it's worth, is that however you had handled your boy when he was young, he would have been the same... I just feel the negative persistance, meltdowns in the face of thwarted desire or frustration and inability to "go with the flow" are too powerful to be altered from the outside. With the ODD-type personality, being "strong" against the defiance only makes it worse. So, who knows, odds are your "passivity" made him better than he would have been :) All this said from my own daily experience, of course... As for the frustration therapy... I don't know. Give it a try? If your boy trusted the doctor, trusted his kindly intentions in doing this, it could maybe work to some degree? [/QUOTE]
