[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 86669, member: 1233"] Oh, I so hated people telling me to spank my child! I must say that with most of our kids spanking is hands down the most useless parenting technique ever used!! (I always believed spanking had its' uses, for major running out into the street safety kinds of things, but with my first child I found that it just made him want to do it again!) ODD is an often used diagnosis, but few of us have ever found that it is a complete diagnosis. It describes behaviors, but it certainly doesn't give any insight as to what causes them or how to fix them. The library should have The Explosive Child. If you are close to Cincinnati, they have an excellent Children's Hospital. It was there that we got our first real help with my difficult child. My son is now almost 16 and living with my parents. He has always had major problems with acting violently toward his sister and I. We got much more help through Children's than through any of the therapists or counselling centers we saw previously. It is a really good idea to go to the archives and print out the Parent Report guidelines. A Parent REport is a way to organize info on your child so that you have it to take to any/all professionals who try to help with your child. It has great questions, and many of us have had days we thanked ourselves for doing one - esp when we had to see a new doctor or therapist and our difficult child had a fit while we were still trying to introduce the problem!! It also keeps track of things as your child grows so you don't forget crucial info. Welcome, come visit on the Watercooler and General to get to know us! (General is about our difficult child's of all ages and Watercooler is the fun stuff!) Hugs, Susie oh- about the dad thing: Is it possible she sees other kids with their dads and sees that she doesn't have one? Could this be the source of the longing and pain you see? It is NOT something to beat yourself up about, not at all! I jsut thought it might be the source of the behavior, so you could talk to her about how every family is different? [/QUOTE]
