[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 340843, member: 2423"] I'm sorry your husband is not on board. It is not uncommon for one spouse to lag behind the other in being ready to tackle treatment for a difficult child. I want you to know that many here do not believe that ODD is a helpful diagnosis and there really are no medications that specifically treat ODD. ODD describes a set of behaviors for which there is an underlying cause. When the underlying cause (for example, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, autistic spectrum disorder, learning disability, etc) is identified and treated, the oppositional behaviors typically subside. So it's really important that you figure out what is fueling your difficult child's oppositional behaviors so the appropriate interventions can be put into place to help him. Interventions may include medications, but they could also include therapy, tutoring, mentoring, social skills, Occupational Therapist (OT), speech therapy, exercise, etc, depending upon the diagnosis.
