I'm trying to get my difficult child tested through his pediatrician. I'm concerned about how much to talk about difficult child in front of difficult child. We're still in the process of getting a diagnosis. We're thinking asperger's and ODD. At this point, difficult child knows that me and his father are trying to get him help with his problems at school and help with his anger and frustration. We've left it semi-ambiguious when discussing problems with difficult child. I'm not sure at what point do you talk about the exact isues with children. difficult child just turned 8. Is it best to keep it in the, "bigger picture" context: i.e., you need help understanding better ways to respond when you're angry, etc?
I'm fearful about labels and how they could be used against children--especially by their peers at school and in the neighborhood.
Appreciate any input here.
Thanks
