Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) an ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile, and defiant behavior toward authority figures that goes beyond the bounds of normal childhood behavior.

What do you do for Christmas when everything they own is torn up and destroyed? I don't have the money to spend on things that are destroyed and I have not found anything that doesn't get destroyed. I am just so frustrated and christmas stresses me out for this reason.

I have the same problem with Josh..he destroys everything that comes in his path doesn't matter on his mood...I have found things from walmart that Josh can take apart and put back together as many times as he wants and they don't get destroyed...that is the purpose of the toy..We got him tow trucks, dump trucks that come together and he can take them apart and put them together without totally destroying anything...i think it's the "cat's meaowwwww" for kids with odd!

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
