Comment on Is Your Child ODD? by Sean

Actually, yes, my son is oppositional and defiant. To the point of violence. And I have parented him just as they suggest. For 17 years. It’s frustrating, painful, and scary. Last month he assaulted me. Now he’s in state custody. It breaks my heart.

Describes my little brother to a “T” actually, and he’s 23 now. But their suggestions for “treatment” are pretty much exactly how he was parented.

It’s amazing what labels can be slapped around — I imagine that a kid labeled “ODD” will actually get a pass for bad behavior from some, since it’s a “disorder” and no longer a behavior issue. Just as kids labeled “ADD” or “ADHD” can be written off as unable to learn because of a similar “disorder.” But that’s just a hunch, from the eyes of a parent and not a professional. Of course there are kids with real problems, but I suspect far fewer than the professional organizations claim to have identified.

Yes … aren’t they cute …

We allowed our kids to each choose one at a museum gift shop. The Boy chose HIV. No problem. Until he was telling anyone and everyone, “I have an hiv virus!” … not understanding how that sounded.

But it lead to a great conversation about illness prejudice.

This popped up in my Sitemeter, and I noticed the link was broken because I’ve reshuffled my site. The right link to the debitage post is here.

Comment on The Birds by PeaceBang

This makes me very happy too. Do you get any cardinals? They go “chip chip chip.” I don’t know the names of any of the birds (I mean, I do, but I don’t know which song goes with what bird). Greg likes to make up names of birds when we’re on walks. When we hear a birdsong he’ll say, “That’s a morning glory.” And I nod yes, that’s definitely a morning glory.

Your catfish post cracked me up!!!
