Hi
I'm new to this but at the end of my patience and looking for help. I have a child who is and has been really difficult but is now bullying her younger sister. From what I read she probably has ODD or conduct disorder but I hate labels and medication so have tried to resolve myself but no effect. I have done counselling ranging from play therapy to family counselling but little effect. I am really worried about going to GP and having her labelled and put in the system as a child with problems. She does really well in school academically - its just behaviour at home is problem and causing a real issue with her younger sister who is the victim. All the attention has been on the problem child and the younger one is really suffering. Don't know what to do for the best.....
