Parents, your kids aren't that special

[desflood]

My husband has a friend whose son has been diagnosed with ODD - I read the list of symptoms and told him, "Your buddy's kids sounds like a spoiled brat to me."

[phyzik]

so......where exactly are you suggesting to send them?

Look, Im not going to do all the work for you.... There are lots of military schools in Texas and other states. Its up to you and her mother to take the initiative to do something about it.

Here's another link specific to San Antonio (which I presume you live in). If your serious about fixing the problem, just do some research. If she is REALLY seeing a counselor then ask them, I guarantee they have some recommendations.

Because you keep questioning me about it makes me think either your full of or you are too scared to propose the idea to the mother. Either way, I've provided enough information to help you out. All you have to do is contact someone from one of those sites if you have more questions about their programs.

I wont name a specific school because some are better than others for certain "problem childs". Its up to you and the mother to figure out which one would be best. I dont know the girl and wont presume that I know whats best for her, its up to you to decide.

Ha Ha, I think you are getting a little mixed up. I am the one who was discussing the problem child. I have a sneaking su ion that the poster who is repeatedly asking you "but where would you send her?" is just being facetious since you repeated "send her to boot camp" about 6 times in 3 lines of your first post. I do appreciate the information, thanks. (read poster's names next time, don't worry though, happens to the best of us)

I could waterboard her. I bet that would fix the behavior.

Military schools will not work for children with such behaviors. You cannot beat them into submission. They will die or become so deranged that they are put into a mental ins ution.

I suggest you do a little research or have a background in Psychology before giving out such heavy-handed advice.
