I agree with the above poster. Many do not agree with exercises as a way to gain compliance. In many states, it is considered abuse. So, be careful.
It seems that you focus alot on punishment. While I agree totally that a child needs to be polite and respectful, this should not be gained through punishment. You will get compliance, but compliance alone isn't what you want. Sorry if I misread your post, but it seems that you do alot of punishing.
Many parents are unable to handle emotional special needs children. We all have different gifts and abilities. Social services rarely discloses the needs of children upon placement and maybe the previous homes were just not cut out for an ODD child. Having a child agrue about every thing you say is very wearing. I don't think its that the foster parents aren't showing the kids love and respect. Love and respect don't tame an ODD child.
