[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 448633"] It still sounds to me like she is frustrated and depressed. She might not have understood how the math teacher explained it (many kids have this problem) so asked again and was met with frustration. She apparently feels like she's not being heard and doesn't understand it herself so can't exactly explain it to someone else. My difficult child is much the same way. He needs things to be explained in just the right way "for him" before he understands what is being asked. He also struggles with putting his thoughts into words. It's even harder for him when he doesn't know why he's doing what he's doing. He lacks the "correct" words or doesn't really know. How can a child explain something to someone else when they don't know themselves. I am very sorry she is going through this. It took me until about 6 months ago to realize these were the issues my difficult child was having and helping him instead of "punishing" him for doing the wrong thing. I still don't see any ODD in what you've said. I see a lot of lacking skills and no one able to help her yet. More {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} to you both. [/QUOTE]
