Hello,
I haev just signed up here and I am kind of lost as to where to get help.
My recently turned 5 year old has been diagnosed with ODD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and she is oppositional and defiant to the max many days;. I was looking at gettinf the book The Explosive Child, but i just read your post in the sticky thread at the top about the book not usually being the place to start. I need info and suggestions to help with that "knee jerk reaction to authority" as you called it. That describes her so well.
Where do I start? I basically know what ODD is, what the symptoms are, and that we need a behavior plan to help here, but I can not seem to find ideas and suggestions as to how to start. We have therapy appts, but due to the lack of staff the local places have hired, we are 6-8 weeks out on each appointment, and I don't feel that I've got a handle ( or any idea what so ever) on where and how to start.
Any suggestions as to how to get the most out of this site, and where to start for help and guidance?
thanks,
