[quote=Anonymous]I don't feel like the PPs who have mentioned "giving the boy a reality check" understand this type of kid. It's not okay for you to experience physical abuse, and you need to protect yourself, but this does not sound to me like a kid who is just acting up for the heck of it. With those diagnoses, this is a kid who is likely rigid and has emotional regulation and maybe impulsivity challenges. You need to work within that structure and with providers who understand these diagnoses. Kids with ODD don't respond to stricter discipline. Yes, consistency is important, and there are parenting techniques you can do, but this isn't about "giving them a reality check." This sounds like a kid who is really struggling and maybe is depressed and having trouble coping with the changes of puberty and perhaps some challenges at school or in peer relationships. You need to have an emergency discussion with his therapist and others.[/quote]
