[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids, older than yours. One is very easygoing, very well-behaved, and the kind of child that makes you wish you had a houseful of kids.  The other is a challenge, difficult to like at time, and the kind that makes you realize if he had been the first child, he'd be the only child.  And just to be clear, I love both my children dearly. As it turns out, the challenging child has anxiety that manifests itself through oppositional behavior and anger.  He is in counseling and DH and I have done parent training too.  It was clear from a very young age, 2 or so, that he had different needs.  So sometimes that "spirited" child actually has real needs that should be addressed.

Good luck, OP![/quote]

Can you please share how your DS was diagnosed and what steps you took to get him into counseling? He sounds similar to my DS who is almost 3 and may very well end up an only child because of his behavior! We've discussed with his pediatrician who didn't seem concerned but I think we might need to be a bit more proactive and at least get an evaluation. [/quote]
