I am not using the corner method anymore. Too restrictive. I am using
the time out method with time starts all over again if he opens his bed-
room door or trys to talk to me before it is over. This is help prevent
him from starting an argument and trying to take control. He has been
really good yesterday. Except he became anti-social at a friends house
until about an hour before we were going home. Spent the nite there. He
doesn't get to do that because he still has a bed wetting problem. Doctor's
haven't been able to help him with that. I read sometimes when they go
on medication for ADHD/ODD that this can stop. I sure hope so for his
sake. But our friends have a child with ADHD also and they didn't mind
it, so I was pleased. I hope he has a good time and things are okay. It
kinda scares me alittle, but I don't want to be too overly protect him and
deprive him of living a normal life ( you know the kind of life that all
kids like to do) and much as possible. At least these parents have gone
through it. There childs been worst off cause he's been suspended and
caused problems in school. Mine don't do that. They aren't really them-
selves at school. They wait till they get home.
