[quote=Anonymous]I feel like your title is different from your post. You can’t make your kid happy but you can make them happier about your relationship with them. My child is similar but probably milder case (ODD was thrown around at one point but ultimately discarded). I know my kid gets down about their behavior. But at the end of every day I spend a few minutes with her and try to have a real conversation about whatever she wants. A book, a random topic from school whatever. A few weeks ago we had such an interesting and deep discussion about a random history topic and I just told her I love how her brain works and the way she thinks so deeply about things and I just really think she’s a cool kid. She really lit up and it was such a reminder that there is so much I like about my kid but I forget to verbalize sometimes. I’ve been making an extra effort to do that since.[/quote]
